Overall the car is in good shape, with a few minor dents and a cracked wind-shield. Here you can see more pictures. The clutch is almost brand new (changed at 174k miles) Why am I selling it? The engine makes somehow a knocking sound: it started as howling and grinding noise (I thought indeed that the bearings of the alternator were shot) that progressively changed to knocking. Around 3000rpm the noise is at its minimum The sound is still there even with the utility belts off. There is no apparent loss of power. Possibly, it is just the bearing of one of the timing belt tensioners or of the left camshaft. I don't have the time and the tools for attempting the repair myself and I needed a car to commute to work every day. Important: Clear title. Please, ask all your questions before bidding (and don't wait the final hour for asking something). At least a down-payment of $500 must be paid within two days from the end of the auction via PayPal, USPS Money order, or cash. The remainder may be paid when you pick up the car (cash or USPS money order). The car must be picked up within a week from the end of the auction. The car still runs and, if you give me a ride back home, I'd be ready to deliver it within 10-15 miles. Note: The car is listed for sale locally and I reserve the right of terminating this auction if the reserve price has not been met and I find a local buyer.
