Default Selling my 06 Base Coupe with 38K miles - Asking $8000

I'm looking to sell my 2006 base coupe. It's been a wonderful car but I no longer have a need for a car as I'm moving to NYC and it's just not worth the hassle to have a car.

I purchased it back in 2007 with about 900 miles on it and since then have only put on an additionally 37k or so for a grand total of a little above 38k, the vast majority of which are highway miles (went to school in New Orleans so the back and forth from their added up.) As you all know, the base coupes have essentially one configuration with a black exterior and black interior. I have 2 sets of wheels for it, the stock ones (just replaced the rear tires last year,) as well as a set of ASA/Mercedes wheels with winter tires that I purchased from the forum back in January of this year. I ended up mounting them but not driving the car really at all afterwards as one of the rears went flat and I did not have the time to get it replaced.

In terms of condition, this car could definitely be better but I am confident that my pricing coupled with the low miles accounts for this. There are a few dings and dents throughout the body, primarily the right rear fender and both front fenders. The CEL has been on since I stopped using it back in January, I have a feeling the Crankshaft Position Sensor is to blame and I will be replacing that this weekend hopefully. Additionally, the breather covers are leaking (another common problem) and I have not gotten around to fixing that. The front tires on the stock rims should probably be replaced pretty soon as well. As such, the car will be sold as-is with no warranty express or implied.

I'm looking for around $8000 for it. Although I do not put much stock into KBB/NADA values, the KBB on it is around $8400 and NADA gives $9300 for an average trade-in so I think my price is fair. The car is located in the suburbs of Syracuse, NY.

I haven't had any luck in posting images to the forum so here is a link to an imgur album of a few pics I took this afternoon. I will be putting the stock rims back on sometime this week hopefully and will post some more pictures after doing that and giving it a wash and detail. Feel free to PM me with any questions.
