Thanks Jamal and bajaha. I got the belt on and hit the starter long enough for the engine to turn a few times and everything is still lining up right.

I'm kicking around the idea of selling my '04 FXT. As much as I love that drat car, it's not really meeting my needs anymore. I bought a house a few months back and have a few projects that require a truck to haul poo poo. If it were just that, I'd pick up a cheap utility trailer or rent one when I need it, but I do a lot of camping and my wife's Pathfinder can only hold so much stuff while towing a camper. Anyway, my question for you all really is how much I can expect get when/if I sell the FXT? It's a manual with ~113,000 miles on it. Mechanically, there's not a drat thing wrong with it. I've done the maintenance (including the dreaded timing belt) and kept on top of any problems. The body, however is...well it looks like a 13 year old car. The clear coat on the hood and the roof rails is starting to go and there's a decent dent in the liftgate, as well as the usual scratches and poo poo one would expect for a 13 year old car. There's no body or frame rust though, as it's been in the southern US its whole life. Interior is in real good shape. It's completely stock. There's a couple of cosmetic things I'd fix as well as a really good cleaning job before trying to sell it (e.g. the rusty wiper arms). Here's a few (lovely) pictures of the car as it sits now:     Most of the examples I found on craigslists have been modified or seem ridiculous, and there aren't many out there to compare it to. I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks all. Once tax returns start coming in I'll probably go ahead and list it since people gonna have that money burning a hole in their pockets.
