Have owned this car for the past 12 years and has been the most reliable vehicle we owned. It currently has a rebuilt top to bottom AC, new transmission, and as of two years ago- a new engine. Reason for new engine is car was driven for two weeks sans oil, and eventually gave out. The replacement engine has only 115k miles. Car was repainted black 6 years ago and polishes up nicely. The two front tires are the extremely nice Fulda Carats from Germany, which deliver a comfortable ride as if you were on rails. One rear tire was recently replaced, the other (Continental) has lots of miles and life left in it. Interior is brown. All seats are in fine condition for the car's age, but it's advisable to have them redone. If the interior was replaced with new from a donor car, this car would easily go for minimum $5k. Considered doing this but don't have the time anymore. AC should be converted to R34; when AC was replaced we went with Freeze 12 because it lasted longer. Power seats/locks and cruise control are inoperable. Car starts right away. Idle and acceleration are both smooth, keeps up with modern traffic quite easily. Car is double-limo tinted (including the windshield, which may or may not be legal in your state. Check your local restrictions). One of the best things about this car is the fuel mileage, which is minimum 650-700 miles/tank. Currently, car is not registered. Can help you obtain a temp tag if you want to drive it home. If not, you can trailer it home or have it shipped by one of the usual services (shipping is buyer's responsibility).
