Default FS: $350 good-running beater!

I decided to upgrade to a nicer beater (1995 Jetta with 240k miles..lol)

So, selling my beater. This thing gets over 30mpg on the highway and around 25-26 in town. I'd trust it to drive to Alaska if I had to, always runs flawlessly and shifts great.

PICS:

1989 Mercury Tracer 4 door hatchback
Maroon with gray bumpers
218,000 miles

**Brand New Parts installed over the last 3-4 months:
-Alternator
-Rear passenger strut mount
-Rear swaybar endlink
-front calipers
-front rotors
-front pads
-rear shoes
-rear wheel cylinders
-brake master cylinder
-brake fluid
-front pass. strut
-both serpentine belts
-thermostat
-antifreeze

**New in the last couple years:
-Clutch (at around 200k miles)
-Starter
-front axle
-fuel filter
-spark plugs

**Issues:
-Leaking exhaust (broke, so I rewelded it very poorly to get it back on the road..could use a $40 weld/pipe job from a muffler shop to make it quiet again

-Burns oil...just check it when you put gas in and you're good to go (about 2 qt's ever 2000 miles)

-Paint isn't awesome, but it doesn't show rust really anywhere that I've seen.

-A/C needs a recharge

Has:
-power mirrors
-cd player
-Pioneer speakers (nothing great though)
-decent tires
-reliable engine, always starts on first try
-LOTS of room to carry stuff (engine lift does fit)

Looking for $350 since it has so many new parts and you can't find anything cheaper in this kind of shape around anywhere I've looked; usually it runs and is wrecked or vice-versa.
