Price: US $750.00

Description:

LOW RESERVE - 1989 Plymouth Sundance Hatchback 4-Door 2.2L FWD - TIME CAPSULE - Low, Low Mileage (38, 419 original miles)
I am selling my great running, very low mileage, dependable 1989 Sundance that needs nothing but a new owner.
The GOOD - Very recent (within the last 8 weeks unless otherwise specified) inspection/replacement of the following items: Brand new gas tank, inspection of fuel pump, new fuel filter, new fuel lines (where needed), brand new front bumper (the original bumper had a medium-sized tear in the lower right corner), battery is less than 1-year old, complete tune-up (new: spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor), upper and lower radiator hoses (replaced less than 2-years ago), fresh oil change and filter. The oil and oil filter have been changed religiously every 2, 500 to 3, 000 miles by the previous owner and myself. The tires are very good and have approximately 60% tread life (6/32) on the fronts, and approximately 70% tread life (7/32) on the rears, and would advise to rotate at the time of the next oil change. All the tires hold 32psi of air (no rim leaks) for at least 3 months; (during seasonal changes in the weather, I re-check the psi).
All electrical components work as they should (gauges, heater, radio, lights, wipers, lighter, windshield washer pump, horn, rear defroster, etc).
All manually operated components work as they should (door locks, hood/trunk release, mirrors, doors, windows, mirrors, etc.).
I had taken care to repair ALL mechanical items that were bad when I had purchased the vehicle. No misalignment of windows... no broken door handles... no broken outside mirrors... everything mechanical has always been maintained.
Suspension is very good and tight -- rides smoothly on highway (70+ mph) commutes to work.
All glass is in excellent condition. Interior is in excellent, 'unaltered' original condition.
The headliner, carpet, door panels, dashboard, instrument cluster and dash panel facing are in excellent condition as well. The cloth seats are very comfortable and in excellent condition as well.
All exterior items, such as: Head lamps, tail lights, marker lights, door handles, locks, mirrors, etc., are all in excellent condition.
I typically get an average of 24 to 32 mpg (combined city / highway miles), depending on traffic.
The BAD - The A/C compressor is in need of replacement (always blew “cold” until the clutch on the compressor seized; the A/C belt was immediately removed to prevent damage)… the original A/C components are all intact and have never been disassembled. The original ash tray seems to have a broken corner ‘tab’. Within the last week, the dome light switch appears to be non-functional (I replaced the bulb, but the dome light is still not functioning). The recently noticed that the rear hatch door struts are ‘weak’ but, I have purchased new replacements (included with the sale of the vehicle).
The UGLY - Vehicle has the 'usual' rust area (as seen in the photos, the lower front area of the rear wheel wells) prone to these years, but the frame, trunk, floors, etc., have been inspected.
If you are looking for a classic, unique, dependable, good used car to take you from point A to point B, and prioritize that the integrity of the body, engine and transmission are sound, and don't want to invest initial money in repairs, then this is the car for you.
NOTE: This car runs, drives, and idles well, the engine is quiet, the transmission operates smoothly. The car does not smoke or leak any fluids visible in my driveway -- I usually add one-half quart of oil between oil changes (around 1, 500 miles)... other than that, the antifreeze, the power steering fluid, the brake fluid and the transmission fluid is checked periodically, but I have never needed to add additional fluid to any of these items to date.
Reason for selling: I have recently purchased a ‘beater’ Jeep for the upcoming winter, and am therefore selling this vehicle since I do not have room in my garage, and can not afford the cost to maintain the additional insurance, state license plates and local village sticker.
This was simply my “back up” vehicle (to drive primarily when either my wife’s, or my work vehicle needed repair); I had garage-stored this Sundance EACH winter since I owned it, and I believe that I am the second owner.
I have spent approximately $1, 100.00 in repairs/maintenance within the last year (the new front bumper, the new gas tank (installation costs of both), as well as a complete tune-up and battery replacement accounts for most of the money spent within those last 12 months).
I have tried my best to honestly describe ALL the qualities of this vehicle (whether good, bad, or ugly), and now leave it up to the buyer to make the decision whether he/she is interested in the vehicle as is.
As I had previously indicated, I do have a LOW RESERVE price on this vehicle (please do NOT ask me to reveal the reserve price).
I have this vehicle listed locally, and reserve the right to cancel this auction if I receive a fair offer.
If you have any questions, please free to email me.
NOTE: I will be driving this vehicle to work a few days this week, so the actual mileage (38, 419) may increase by 100 to 150 miles.
