It's going to be $1500 or less. They gave me their old suv, I drove it for like a year. Sold it for $2000 and bought my escort. So they're trying to be fair and buy her a car of around the same value.

They seem to have found a 96 explorer with 68k miles, no rust, all features and they think they can get it for really cheap or barter. I can't argue with that.
