I don't know the previous history on this car, ust what I know personally. I go through the car and do a check list of what is working or not, nd any defects. I also drive the car for a few days to see how she "feels".

Car was bought from a local gentleman and Title is in his name. IF OUT OF STATE: Check with your local DMV (before bidding) if this is OK. If your state requires a title in the seller's name (me), hen please don't bid. (unless of course you have someone here in CA to title it for you).

I am selling it as is.

These cars are bought at a local benefit sale where the proceeds go to good causes. Most cars come from affluent communities where the owner's buy a new vehicle and donate there "old" one for a tax write off. I've been buying cars at charity events for years and everyone makes out. I try to be as honest as possible about these cars and list what I know, ut I'm not a mechanic or body repair person. I have done this for years and everyone has been happy with the cars. I HAVE 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK, ostly from cars on ebay. If you really need to call me, o ahead, ut I've described it as best as I can: 818-272-1112 God bless and hope you love your car purchase.

**NOTE** If you have "0" Feedback, lease don't bid, 've had too many flakes in the past.
