As you can see from photos this is a solid car for its age. Some minor rust which is shown in our photos. Worst exterior damage shown last photo where passenger was side swiped which also damaged door trim. Garage kept most its life. But it has not been driven on a regular basis in 10+ years. We are selling for the family as part of an Estate Sale for their mother's belongings. Family took vehicle to local auto mechanic this week to have serviced. The mechanic put in a new battery, flushed the fuel system, changed the air filter to get the vehicle running. It starts, runs, drives, but needs the following work as noted by the mechanic (his findings, not ours - we have a copy of his full report with the car for your reference):
Mechanic states at end of his report "overall condition Good given the age although it will need attention to drive safely"...Drivers door lock won't function with key, water pump is making bearing noise and leaks (it needs to be replaced asap along with some of the hoses possibly), drive belts fair, brakes fair (brake disc have surface rust due to not driving for years), brake hoses should be replaced due to age, brake calipers may need to be replaced, minor leak developing at the steering gear box causing noticeable play in steering when driving, exhaust system has been updated, front upper control arms have been updated, hood needs new insulation pad, front tires fair, rear tires older and need to be replaced.
Low starting price. NO RESERVE. Highest bidder gets it. Bank Cashier's check or Cash is only accepted payment. Vehicle offered AS IS with no warranty.
