for sale
Price: US $995.00
Price: US $995.00
Estate sale - I don't know much about this vehicle except that it has been garaged and not driven for 15 - 20 years
(closer to 20) - The gentleman that owned it was a friend of mine who became sick for a long time before he passed. Apparently something broke on the car and he decided to drive something else and just stored this car in his garage. We never talked about this car.
Th Vehicle does not start. Most everything looks to be original, (but I don't know this car) - it doesn't look like many changes were made except the entire glove box is missing. He wasn't the type to make changes to a car but he apparently installed some kind of aftermarket radio under the missing glove box. There is junk in the back where the hatch is but I can't see in the back too well because I don't have the key to the hatchback door. I believe mileage to be what is indicated on odometer because my friend just parked it when it probably needed repair. He stopped driving it about the time my kid was born (about 20 years ago).
The tint on the windows is peeling off. There are a couple small spots on the car where the paint has completely come off and the metal is showing dark brown but is not rusted through anything, it's just dark. See picture of the door. The tires are flat. See pics. The dash is cracked and has a dash pad on it. This is a California car and has never left CA.
It just looks like things were untouched on this car for a long time. Body looks pretty good from what I can see. I looked in the engine and didn't see any rust. I didn't see rust in the wheel-wells that I checked or on the inside of the doors. No way was I going under the car with the spiders. I couldn't pull up the carpet nor could I look under the hatchback because it was locked and the key I have (only unlocks the car door and goes into the ignition), didn't work in the hatch lock. I had to move lots of stuff in the garage to get to the car, but I still was unable to get good pictures of it.
Possibly restore or part out. This appears to be a complete car except for the glovebox. Wheels look pretty cool.
Car has to be towed away on Saturday Sept 12th as the home is being sold. Late Friday or Early Sunday may be an option depending on the circumstances.
The tires are pretty flat
Sorry that I can not show the car to individuals because I live 400 miles away and I will only be in the area for a short time.
I do not know what is wrong with the car, I do not know why the owner stopped driving it. It does not start and has been sitting in the garage for a long time. Possibly purchase to restore or part out.
Full payment is due (and cleared by my bank) before car is towed away by new owner.
I will have to remove your bid if you can not have it towed on Sept 12th. 2015. I am flying in late on the 11th, and leaving the area on the 13th.
Please don't bid if you can not arrange to move the car by the date above. Thank you for looking.
