IS FM Cassette CD Player combo Bose radio with the national weather service weather alert stations pre programmed? 3 Liter V6 rated @200 HP 16 inch American racing 7 spoke aluminum rims tires have more than 50% life left 4 wheel Disk breaks, Cold AC working sunroof New battery this car is loaded it has about every factory accessories you could get in a model year 2000 it even has on star (no I have not tested the on star) The bad news first The passenger side carpeting is trashed looks like some one spilled a battery on the carpet but with a good set of floor mats it gets covered up There is an internal oil cooler system in the car that can be bypassed and it needs to be replaced or bypassed last time I drove it right as I pulled in the oil pressure gauge fell flat I shut the car off ASAP opened the hood and say all my oil coming out of my coolant reserve this is a common fault in these cars and the oil cooler is actually only needed high in the Swiss alps (this is the German made Caddy) the quote I got was for $300 to do the bypass by the time I figured out it was only a $300 fix id bought another car The trunk will not latch close I put an aftermarket lock on it The rear power windows do not go down the front windows work fine as does the sunroof If you decide to fix it there’s a lot of oil in the coolant system and a lot of coolant in the oil system so as soon as you get it home I would flush these two systems out a few times The front bumper the rear bumper and the passenger side all show signs of a minor impact the front bumper is really loose there’s a huge scrape down the passenger side doors the rear bumper paint has flaked off in noticeable areas OK the good It does run it just blows all the oil into the cooling system in about 2 minutes so I can let you hear it run but I have to shut it down fast Breaks tires transmission the motor the Air conditioner the sunroof everything works the power seats the stereo the CD player even the cassette deck all work I really don’t want to sell it I would rather fix it but I live in an appt and MNGT says its got to go I can do that kind of work in the parking lot. Personally I think I could make $4K if I parted out but as I said I live in appt complex Ok since I believe this car has a lot of good parts all prices are firm and non negotiable the car is available for local pickup only cash upon pickup I will not ship this any way where or how when you or your “agent” pick up the car please have a copy of the eBay generated invoice and please bring cash this car will need to be towed so please make appropriate arrangements And as mentioned above the higher the price gets the more parts stay with the car if you have questions email me first please don’t assume anything. Prices are firm and non negotiable no low balls the price is the price don’t like it move on (sorry to be so gruff but the last car I sold was a terror every other joker offer ¼-1/3 the asking price) If your mechanically inclined its not that hard of a fix and the oil cooler is truly a bit of over engineering its literally 2 oil lines you have to track down the mechanic quoted me $300 to bypass and that was him coming to my place for a service call I will be sure to give the winning bidder his info or if you want to part it out and believe me if I could do it without getting evicted believe me I would part this thing out I believe if done right there is $3k-$4k worth of parts in the car Ok everybody clear lets get bidding and good luck PS Buy it now gets a free 4 quarts of oil 1 gallon of coolant and a free detail On Dec-18-12 at 21:40:13 PST, seller added the following information:Just to be clear if you dont want to pay for the rimms I have as sold seperatly you will need to get a set just to use to get it on and off the truck universal mini spares from any junkyard should do fine
