Vehicle Detail
This is my wife's old car. We don't know the history from before she owned it. She purchased it used as her college and work go to car. However, when she graduated from college soon after, and got hired right away, she purchased another brand new car. We intended to sell it years ago, but we let her parents borrow it for period of time while they got their car situation resolved. Subsequently it then sat in their garage for several years. I bugged the wife to sell it and she got lazy. She kept saying her brother would buy it. Finally I got feed up so I'm selling it for her lazy butt now. So there is the back story. The car has had several years of not being used. It sat inside a garage out of the weather. The car looks good on the outside, under the hood, and on the interior. It looks used, but not well used. A good cleaning would make it look great. It does have two issues from sitting inactive. 1. Three of the four tires are flat and their rubber is cracked. 2. The battery needs replaced. We jumped it and it started right up without issue. So replace those for around $400 and you have a good car. We can't drive it around so if there are any other issues from sitting then we don't know of them. I doubt there would be though. Tires and the battery always go bad like that when sitting around. I know she had to have some repair done on it back when she bought it, but that is all we know about any repairs. We don't even remember what that repair was for at this point. I don't even remember if we ever looked at a Car Fax report on the car. I figure a local used car dealer will probably buy this car cheap, replace the tires and battery cheaply, and then sell it for around $4500. Who ever buys it though will have to come get it. Obviously it'll probably need towed because of the tires. If you have a good AAA member ship and live within 100 miles they'll tow it for free. I'd like to get it sold so make me a good offer. Thanx for looking at our car.
