Car has minor damage to drivers side bumper, mirror, and door due to small accident last winter where the car brushed the side of another (mirror got knocked off, door and bumper sed)..

Also, minor dings from over the years, but no body rust..car was repainted in 2006 before the 2007 winter's accident...car has only seen 1 winter as it was my Uncles in L.I. then gifted to me in 2003...the car was garaged for 3 years while I was at college, then I used it as a daily driver from 2007 to present...

Looking for around $1000/BO to help purchase a new(er) car...

I realize it is not in perfect condition but I have been upfront about ALL of the issues...
