If anyone wants to PM me some ideas or hell even post openly I really need some options. Been a bad year for me and in the spring moving far north. Don't need to make much but if I can make $25k yr or more I would be happy. I have a ton of skills like leatherworking, HD sewing, thinking about learning CNC/laser etching but not even sure how to get business....

You need to explain in the listing what happened. "Water damage" usually means "I drove it into a lake" or "my neighborhood was flooded" and that means a WHOLE LOT more than just the engine is damaged. How did the engine get "water damage" but nothing else? If you don't explain this, no one will touch your car for $6000. NO ONE.

It needs a new engine, other than water damage I don’t know what to call it because it’s nothing you can see and I don’t know anything about cars! I would also attach a picture, but I don’t have any older pics of my car and it’s at the mechanics right now, but can update with pic later on, but it’s a 2019 Hyundai Elantra with no frame damage And yes Facebook is what sold my last car! I’m listing it everywhere possible because I really do need to sell it

No one's gonna be interested unless you say with some specificity what the "water damage" consists of. Also include a picture.

Also post it on Facebook Marketplace. Yes, Facebook is evil, blah blah blah but plenty of people make an account just for buying and selling on Marketplace. You can make an account and not include any personal info like pics, etc.

People pay me if they are able to survive having a conversation with me. It doesn't pay much, but it's a good testament to people's tolerance and acceptance.

I can always pick up a cottage to clean on Saturdays in the summer if I need a little cash. Gave up checking summer houses in the winter, though. Easy 5 minute walk-through when everything's fine, but a nightmare when there's a storm or the power goes out or it dips below zero. Now I only have to think about my own pipes freezing, not 10 summer properties 20 miles away whose owners insist on keeping the water on all winter. And my pipes never freeze because, unlike my clients, I follow my advice.
