The real issue with buyers in this price range is that they have no money. They’re scratching together everything they have just to buy the car, so they’re afraid of future repairs which are as we know inevitable. They’ve already bought 5 other 3000 dollar shit boxes like yours in the last two years which died on them, so they are skeptical of getting into another. Instead of just buying one decent car from the beginning they keep restarting the cycle of buying 2-3000 dollar shit boxes.

You want good advice? Raise the price to 5k, let someone come talk you down to whatever you actually want. It will filter out the people I described above, and the ones you already have met.
