On Jun-17-10 at 10:01:59 PDT, seller added the following information: Just to clarify added 6/17/10 I've been told by a mechanic that the transmission slipping just needs a minor service if you want. and the Tachometer not working properly has nothing to do with the Odometer- which reads the correct miles at just over 142,000. I have records of services and original documentation to go with this car so you know it's accurate. A/C is in working condition, just needs a re-charge to blow icy cold again I do have the original CA front license plate for it as well, just not in pictures The Vacuum system works great so all power windows, sunroof, doorlocks, etc. work as they should Power antenna works great Car idles smooth on start-up and accelerates smoothly. It's in excellent condition and I should have been more specific in my original listing I guess, just trying to address some questions that have come up. I've had a few offers locally that I had to turn down because they could not come up with the cash or wanted to do partial trades and they all say that this is one of the nicest 300's they've seen, but could use a thorough cleaning/waxing. I didn't have it all detailed out before taking pictures as I thought it was a more accurate representation of the car and I'm not trying to pass it off as some rare 'show' car. Maybe my mistake, but it's been a driver since new, not stored, just not driven alot or as a commuter car so the miles are very low and the interior/exterior/undercarriage reflect this. I've been a member of eBay since 1998 with 100% feedback always and that means something to me so this listing is not fluffed up- it's an excellent condition well maintained almost 30 year old car with a few minor issues. Happy Bidding.
