Vehicle Detail
This vehicle was traded in to us and we have NOT had an inspection of any kind done. This car is being sold 100% as/is where is. If you ask what that means... "If you come to get it and it breaks in 2 pieces you have to pick them both up and take them out of here" I realize this is a rather blunt way of saying it, but as you may be able to imagine how many times AS/IS is misunderstood.
Now that we have that out of the way here is what I can tell you about this vehicle. I have tried in my pics to show you any cosmetic damage I have found on the vehicle. I have written next to each picture just what you are looking at up close.
For the unseen mechanical things; here is what I know (again I am not a mechanic nor was this car looked at by one) the neutral safety switch is worn out. (The car will not start in park; you must put it in neutral) The car starts and does NOT smoke, there are no rattles, pings or knocks that I could hear from the engine. It does not seam to be as quick as I would expect a V8 to run, however it has been 10 years since I drove one of these last. The transmission shifts smooth and seams to be in perfect working order. There are no lights on the dash (check engine or brake ect) The tires are in good shape and all match. The hard top is on the car and there is something wrong with it. It will not release so we can get to the soft top. Only when driving the red light flashes on the power top control the car beep beep beep's at you (I think all of this is related to the top not working properly).
We have a bid from a local dealer of $2000 to buy it as it sits but before we let it go I figured we would offer it to the public. This unit will be offered with NO RESERVE so bid as if you are buying it. I will not offer a buy now so this car (assuming we get bids) will sell on eBay.
You are welcome to come inspect this unit anytime we are just outside of ST Louis Mo. 62269 is our zip code. You can also contact any mechanic local to 62269 and we will gladly take the car to them to have it looked at your expense.
Good luck bidding and please feel free to call or text me at 618-789-3013 Alex with any questions. Thanks and good luck!!
