Price: US $0.99

Description:

This is my personal daily driver for last 6 years, It has served my very well, I never driven this car in snow, as I wanted it to last forever, however plans changed. I used the car for many long distance trips from here to St Augustine FL, 2 times a year and once to the Florida Keys, also couple trips to Tulsa Oklahoma. Last long distance trip was to Tulsa and was September of 2014. I am selling this as I have a new hatchback Ford Focus that I am enjoying. I have been driving Geo Metros for the past 15 years, I am an auto mechanic by trade, I did personally install a 1994 Geo Metro XFI true drivetrain in it on spring of 2009. this car was originally a 4 cylinder automatic. This car is a very decent straight body and no rust. It was originally from southern VA. I wanted a straight unwrecked body to do this conversion. the engine was rebuilt at that time and new good quality clutch installed as well. everything works on this car, except for the CD player, radio works fine.
I still use this car occasionally, as it is still insured and registered . I don't want to park in yard , as it could become a home for mice.
BODY= paint is between fair and poor, the roof is faded and front and rear bumper covers are faded and have scratches. The hood was replaced and professionally painted, there is a minor dent on the rear hatch and minor dings here and there, nothing major. No rust out or bondo in this car. Windshield is good, IT IS PA state inspected.
INTERIOR= it is very clean and free or stains and tears. Still have original floor mats still in it, seats are nice an clean, dash is nice shape. It has new headliner installed back in 2009. I am a non-smoker. No pets. I am the only driver of this car, sometimes my father would use it. We don't eat in our cars, I am very fusy about cleaniness of my car. No children as well. Heater and A/c work properly, window wind up and down good. All electrical components works as they should. The top of rear seat does have a cigarette burn, I replaced that seat from a salvage yard as the original one was broken. I think it can be seen in pictures.
MECHANICAL= The body and XFI drivetrain had about the same miles on it , when the conversion was done. NO shortcut were done here, I do everything as it would be from factory. It took about 2 months to do the swap the right way. The XFI drivetrain is from a 1994 model, The engine wiring harness and intake manifold and ECM is from a 1995 Metro 3 cylinder 5 speed. IT is OBD 1 stage computer system, requiring only one oxygen sensor, this is the most simplified injection system and trouble free. under hood emissions decal matches the wiring and ecm and intake manifold.
TIRE= all in great shape. I got 5 years out of the front tires before I replaced them. NO front end problems here, tires have about 80-90 percent life left
BRAKES= The brakes have 65-75 percent life remaining
EXHUAST=I replaced the whole exhaust system on summer 2014
WHEEL BEARINGS. I replaced all wheel bearings on summer of 2012 and replaced with KOYO Japanese bearings. I don't like the Chinese ones.
BATTERY= is about 4 years old.
