This is my mother's car. She is 88 and rarely drives. Rather than keep the car for another year and pay for insurance she has decided to part with it this month. She does not need the car as my wife and I live in the same house with her. This car just passed inspection in June and has a valid Pennsylvania inspection sticker that is good through June 2015. Anyone buying & registering this car in Pennsylvania will be able to drive it on the current sticker but it must either be repaired (if feasible) or salvaged when the current sticker expires. We were offered up to $400 by a salvage yard to sell the vehicle to them. The lowest offer we had was $350. We are therefore starting the bidding at $460 and if it sells fine, if not it will be salvaged by the end of this month. This is an opportunity to obtain a vehicle to drive for 9 months for very little money because at the end of the 9 months you will likely still be able to salvage the vehicle for the same $350 to $400. I would suggest that any interested buyers should inspect the car for themselves although the pictures tell the story quite well. The vehicle is also suitable for parts as there are no known mechanical issues with it at this time.The tires are in excellent condition but a front-end alignment may be in order. Any questions please contact the seller. Note: If vehicle is sold locally auction may be terminated early.On Sep-13-14 at 16:41:20 PDT, seller added the following information: This is my mother's car. She is 88 and rarely drives.
