Mileage on the replacement motor is only 91k replaced by previous owner approx 10k miles ago. Body has 282k but you would never be able to tell the way it handles and drives. Great all around body condition. Interior is also decent condition. Never had any accidents as far as I know. No major dents. The car has taken many trips back and fourth from NY to FL for years. SEE PIC OF NEW TIRES ALL AROUND: It is an incredible ride on the highway smooth as glass at 70-85mph. Runs like a top and does not want to quit. In fact that is part of the problem. It has a small vacuum leak in the vacuum system and when you turn the key off, you have to press the accelerator pedal down slightly to get it to turn off. Otherwise you could manually pump a vacuum pressure tester that I hooked up to the system. Power breaks take some time to build up pressure due to the small vacuum leak in the system. Online it recommends to replace all the small hoses in the engine compartment to remedy the vacuum pressure problem. Other than the problems stemming from the slight vacuum leak, there are no problems!!!!!!!!!!!! See pic of interior: The third way is to pop the hood and press the shutoff lever. . The motor is a newer, lower-mileage motor installed only about 10k miles ago. Turbo spools nicely and has plenty of power, All glass is tinted so the car looks nice and makes the car look like the driver has "Old Money" Power windows, Power seats etc.. Pic of new radiator: Notice the turbo under the air cleaner: New Battery: Hood and trunk are factory Aluminum which lightens the car quite a bit. These cars are becoming increasingly sought after because of the 30 miles to the gallon in a full sized car. Also as many people may know, not only do these cars just keep going, you can easily find filtration kits and run it off of waste cooking oil from fast food friers and drive for free. By the way, it does leak a few drops of oil from the connecting hose to the oil cooler. Right side mirror is a cut and stick replacement kind. Any questions, please ask. If you are buying out of state and requirements are different, I can remove it free of charge. I will work with you through wire transfers and shipping. All I ask if you have low feedback or none, talk to me beforehand. This car is one of the few that you will appreciate more in person. It looks great all around. If you get the vacuum leak fixed, possibly in the break booster which I was quoted $300 for, you could have a very nice daily driver. This car can be driven right now to wherever you are bidding from. I drive it once a week at least with no problems other than pressing hard on the break pedal which is something the average driver could get used to. Starts up instantly and no black diesel soot smoke or smells or noises when driving whatsoever! Thanks!
