Description:

Thanks for checking out my Viggen! The disclaimer here is that the car is not perfect - it needs some work to be perfect but is perfectly driveable as is. We drive it every weekend!
Everything is operable with the exception of the A/C and a blown speaker in the door. Hood has some stone chips, but does not detract from the look of the vehicle.
Some things that will need a bit of work include: brake booster is probably on it's way out as evidenced by the squeaking noise you get as the brake pedal is depressed, A/C will need fixed, top is probably in C+ shape meaning it doesn't leak - isn't terribly ugly - but definitely has a few tears, rims will all need to be refinished and 1 more will need straightening and/or replacement (causes some front end noise), shifter has some worn bushings, and it has a small valve cover gasket oil leak. I'd give the SID an A-, as just about everything is readable. Lower front fender needs a bit of work (it is cracked like most of them), and someone ran it into a speed bump or something and the front bumper sits a touch off... again, needs fixing but isn't detracting from the overall look of the car.
Some of the great things: paint is in good shape (has a recent polish/wax) and it has a few minor dings but none that detract from the overall look of the car, no CEL, interior is in great shape (headliner could use replacing when the top is all done), new tires, starts/runs/drives/stops/goes great. It was a garage-kept car nearly it's whole life. Engine was rebuilt at 85k miles (I have the paperwork on it) so that shouldn't be a worry. Seat heaters work, radio works, CD player works, power seats work, windows work, etc.
New parts in the last 6 months include: evap purge valve, interior trim parts, new floor mats, new headlight relay, new hydraulic line on the top, adjusted some of the contact switches for the top, replaced one of the rims, had 2 others straightened, new vacuum lines, power seat switch.
I've got the PCV #6 update kit, but it hasn't gone on the car yet. Also have new front and rear emblems that haven't gone on yet.
This car is not perfect, but is great to cruise around in. With a little bit of effort, I think this is easily a $7-8k Viggen. I just don't have the time or energy to put into this project right now! Car is sold as-is with no warranty.
