I have owned this car for 8 years. This vehicle was my daily driver until 2 years ago and has always run well. It hasn't been used regularly for more than a year. I kept thinking that I would get to spend some time fixing this car up but I've got kids and now that dream is done. Though the material the roof is made of is in good shape, the top seam on the convertible roof has opened up and it just has crappy black tape on it now( see pics). Someone willing to put some time into it might be able to stitch it up. Aside from that issue, the roof opens and closes at the touch of a button and really does not leak much at all. The hood and trunk are primed and there is loss of clear coat on fenders, etc. The exterior has very little rust on it. There is a spot on one door where paint is bubbled doe to rust and another area which has been repaired (both pictured) Front tires are almost new, rear tires show wear. Interior is intact except drivers seat splits (see pics), some discoloration on back seat armrests and carpet of backseat stained. All windows and controls work fine - the radio is iffy. I just charged the battery and it started right up on the first crank. Drove it around the block and it seamed to drive fine. The check-engine light is now on; this may be because the battery was disconnected- unsure. I let run about an hour yesterday and noted no problems. This could be a great car for someone to put a few hours into and use for a couple of years. Definitely needs a tune-up and I would recommend that someone gives it a thorough going over before driving it. That beings said, this vehicle is obviously sold "as is". I'm starting the price low to make sure that it goes. E-mail if you want pictures of anything specific. Please bid only if you are sure that you want it, can pay, and will come and get it. Thanks.
