I'm not a person who would buy a mechanic's special used car, but I have one to sell. Do you have thoughts on how to price it?

The information I have is: - local dealer price for similar model and year (2 for sale near me) - a good maintenance and repair backlog estimate from my mechanic - a good idea of parts price to cover the backlog - a wildcard: electrical problem and I'm guessing 10 hrs and $500 for parts and building that into price consideration

The way I'm going right now is to work out a price such that a buyer might be able to pay themselves for repair work, buy parts, and have some room to make some money if they sell it afterwards. I am motivated to sell, but do not want to burn myself too badly. I do not have the appetite to correct this stuff before selling because there is some electrical risk in here that could go the wrong way financially.
