What's it worth?

Hey everyone,

Just looking for some opinions on how much to ask for my not-running Jimmy.

'98, 160k, 4x4 4 door 4.3
AC rebuilt a year ago
Tranny rebuilt 2 yrs ago (minimal towing since then)

Not running because: Lower intake manifold was leaking so I tore it all down and built it back up and now it won't start. Thought it might be a timing issue (See thread HERE) but couldn't get it started.
I think the problem is a fuel injector poppet that installed incorrectly as I put it back together. The black release levers on the poppet both snapped off when I removed it (very brittle) and when I was re-installing everything I didn't want to have to buy new injectors so I just tried sticking it back in there because it seemed to stick well without the levers. Well, I was being a dumbarse and pushed a little too hard and it went about a centimeter too far and wouldn't even come back out...

Anyway, I could tear everything back down and pull that thing out but am thinking about just selling the thing as is.

Any opinions on what I should ask?

Thanks

$3500 as is.

Thanks for the response.

I must admit that that seems high to me. Any thoughts on what the lowest I should take would be?
