Redbook says $9700 to $11900 for MY08 GLX-R manual diesel. Trade in prices about $3K less than retail but in this crazy market at the moment it could be worth a bit more. Obviously condition, mileage, model etc will have a bearing.
If I was a buyer I'd offer you $2K, because I'd want to be sure that I had the repair costs well covered. However, I think that your cost estimates are very high, maybe double what it would really cost if you had a decent mechanic, not a dealership, do the repairs.
So I'd buy it for $2K, spend $4K, give it a wash and polish then flip it for an easy $13K. They're on Carsales, with similar mileage from $12K to $20K.
Or you could do it and save/make the $6K profit instead of me.

If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay us to do it?
