Just a bit of advice, turn those pictures around instead of them being upside down and sideways!

No offense, but there's no way this should be a $35K car based on the condition I see in the pictures. Those seat covers are absolutely a turn-off, and then there's the sagging headliner. But I'm on the east coast, so maybe the market is different here. <shrug>
Maybe look at BaT, and find some comps for your color and mileage. BaT will almost always be at the high end of the pricing spectrum, so subtract 10% to get into a more reasonable ballpark for private sale. |

GLWS, man! Hopefully, it goes to someone who can give it the same TLC you have. As far as the price goes, I think you're right on the mark. Dakar Yellow is rare and sought after. Have you thought about trying one of the auction sites, such as Bring a Trailer, Cars & Bids, or Hagerty?

Those seat covers are killing you. It’s like listing a house for sale with a tarp over the roof in the listing photos. You may also consider reformatting your information. That’s a pretty long block of text without much prioritization of info (Eg. The mileage is buried 4 paragraphs in). |

Along with the others have mentioned, I would've given it a bath and cleaned the rims. Remember, curb appeal brings them in for a closer look. GLWS
