This was a great car until this past Monday. I let someone borrow it and they decided to crash it. Before the accident, everything worked great and still does. I used this car for the past year for a 120 mile round trip commute roughly 3 days/week but it was parked all winter while I used my truck. Engine is perfectly smooth, no noises, leaks, lights, rattles, nothing. Perfect. Transmission is the same. Shifts smoothly, predictably, and exactly as new. Both of these currently function 100%. Front tires are near new and rear tires were too but left rear is damaged and will need to be replaced. I have a set of 16" wheels with tires that can be included to get the car mobile enough to drive onto a truck for shipping. The tires are not good enough for street use (dry rot). Airmatic was recently gone through and the front struts are new as is the compressor. Valve block was tested 100% and rear struts tested 100%. Leak down test was performed and no leak found. Airmatic buttons, car lift, everything still works. Airmatic light is on in the dash. I assume it is because the left rear tire is flat and it senses that that corner of the car is too extended. The entire system still seems to function perfectly. All of the interior stuff works. Heated seats, power seats, power head rests, flip down headrests, air cooled rear seats, power rear sun shade, any button you press, it works. A/C did not work before the accident. Recently diagnosed as a bad pressure sensor. System is charged and holds a charge. Repair was quoted at $130 from an independent shop. The part is $25 if you can do it yourself. Body damage: front passenger fender, lower valance on front bumper cracked, passenger door, passenger mirror, trunk, all dented/damaged. Scratches along passenger side but they appear to be minor and should buff out. Rear bumper cover is heavily scratched on passenger corner and will most likely require repaint but does not appear to be cracked. No apparent damage to any underlying components. ABS light is on after the accident. I assume an ABS sensor was pulled out, but I haven't looked. It was not on before the accident. Possibly is on due to wheel speed differences between flat tire and not flat tire when moving the car around. Car does drive around the yard with no problems. Everything seems straight and it all appears to be cosmetic damage on the passenger side. Title in hand. Deposit of $500 due within 24 hours! No exceptions!!! FUll payment due within 7 days unless other arrangements are made. Payment in full must be made prior to 14 days, no exceptions! It is up to the buyer to arrange shipping. I will make the car available to the best of my ability and am typically available any day of the week to meet the driver and help load.
