2011 Dodge avenger for $1,400

Can this get 35 MPG?

I don't know, maybe? Imperial, with a tailwind, ethanol-free gas, and on the back of tow truck because it is a Dodge?

Is it worth $1,400?

I don't know, that sounds pretty high to me!

The car has 132,000 miles and it pains me to do this, but this is what she wrote:

Car runs good other then there is something wrong that it starts to over heat/ starts to get pretty hot, I can't afford to fix or figure out what's wrong with it. Interior isn't to bad i did clean the best I could, it will need a way better cleaning especially in the back floorboard. Asking 1,750 or obo just need gone asap. Pm me for questions or if interested.
It runs good except for overheating. I did a terrible job cleaning it, but that is the best I can do.

Also, "Or OBO" is interesting.

She also posted it in in the local Facebook group.

#1: "How soon does it heat up when u start it"
Seller: "not right away but it only gets hot when your driving it qont get hot when it's just sitting, id say when driving it takes 5-8 min"
#2 "Is it losing coolant? Do the oil or radiator caps have what looks like chocolate pudding on them?"
Seller: "no niether have that the resavor is about a year old last was cracked"
#3: "How hot did it get when you were driving it? And for how long?"
Seller: Nothing!
#4: "Over heating could lead to bigger problems towards your engine it's could also lead to a costly fix as well so with that being said what's the absolute lowest you would take for tour car thanks"
Seller: "I'm trying to take no less then 1400 I'm a stay at home mom and really need the money"
#5: "It could be as easy as a sensor change !!! Get a mechanic to diagnose it before you give it away. You will regret it"
Seller: "I've got another car already thank you"
#5: "don't sell yourself short.
Say it's a sensor. 100 bux
Fix it then sell it for double what you're offering
You are nutso if you don't consider.
unless there's more wrong then you're letting on of course. 🤷🏻*♀️"
Seller: "I've checked sensors there all fine, im not a car person so I don't know anything else other then how to put oil and antifreeze in. I currently don't work and im a stay at home mom just hurting for some cash so that's why I don't care letting it go for a low price"

This is one of those situations where I have so many questions I just want to let the crazies sort out themselves.

She is a stay-at-home mom and really needs the money, but she immediately came down 20%. She doesn't need to get a good price from this car because she already has another.

She is not a car person, but she checked the sensors.

I want to comment that I will give her the $1,400 if she tells me which sensors she checked and how.

She doesn't care about selling it cheaply because she is hurting for cash.

#4 asked what her lowest price was, but overall it sure seems like nobody is interested in her car and everyone wants to help out a stranger.
