Vehicle Detail
I purchased this vehicle back in the fall, with the intention of fixing some of the body work issues and giving it a quick paint job. Then selling it on ebay. Well I replaced the window regulator and fixed some minor issues and started driving it. I fell in love with this car and have driven it since..... The 3.0L V-6 is a very smooth and powerful engine.... Even with 191K, this one runs like a watch, no leaks. Automatic Transmission is slipping. It is full of fluid and it still looks Cherry red.....THIS TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING IN ALL OF THE FORWARD GEARS. Since it didn't make sense to paint a car with a bad transmission. I have decided to list it AS-IS. This will be the third time that I have listed this car. Both times it sold, once for $1600 and the second time for $1275. Neither winner ever contacted me to complete this transaction...( Both times there were other bidders on the car ) so Please ...... Ibid if you want the car and plan to complete the transaction. If you are an insomniac that has nothing else to do but waste my time.... please move on. Things that I know about this car. Paint is faded and the clearcoat is gone, on the hood, roof and Decklid. Check engine light is on.... came on about two weeks before the tranny went south. Puncture wound in the front bumper, behind the front license plate ( see pictures ) Rear bumper has a crack on the Left rear ( see pictures ) LR outside door handle is broken Rear quarter has some dents / wrinkles underneath the Gas filler door. All 4 alum. wheels have some clearcoat damage All 4 tires have about 50% of their tread left. Car ran and handled great.. this was a nice solid car, until the tranny went south. No rips or tears in the leather seats... but they do show their age Everything works as it should... except the transmission and the LR door handle I have the title in hand... in my name..... I don't play games and don't expect the winning bidder to. I expect a $150 paypal payment within 24 hours of auction closing. Car will need to be picked up within 2 weeks. ( it will easily move around for loading ). Balance must be paid before the car leaves. This car has been daily driven, until yesterday... when the transmission has gotten so bad that it will not make it up the driveway. If you get here and you think that I have misrepresented something, I will refund your deposit minus the Ebay auction and paypal fees. The car is located about 10 minutes outside Cumberland Maryland ( I am not a dealer ) This is an auction for my 1998 Accord.... if you would like to examine this car, prior to the close of the auction, I will be glad to accomodate. Good luck ... feel free to email me with questions.
