Thinking about selling my old car to a friend for way under its value

I have a 2012 Honda Civic with 85,000 miles that runs great. My friend needs a car and can only pay about $2,000. Everyone says I should sell it online for at least double that, but I keep thinking about how he helped me move last year. The moment that tipped me off I was wrong was when I saw a similar car listed for $4,500 and my first thought was 'that's a fair price' instead of 'that's what my friend needs'. Has anyone else sold a car to a friend for less and not regretted it later?

Stranded with a dead engine, I now blame diesel filters for more harm than good

Yeah, the lower gear trick is key. It forces the engine to work harder and gets the exhaust way hotter. That extra heat is what actually burns off the soot in the filter. Just cruising in top gear often doesn't get it hot enough, especially on older cars. You gotta really load the engine up for a good stretch. It's a solid fix for a temporary clog.

Has anyone worked with Champions Mortgage?

Yes! We used them to buy our place in Katy earlier this year. Their communication is top notch. They never left us hanging when we had questions and we closed on time without any last-minute stress.
