The car DOES run and drive but needs a power steering hose. We bought the car in May of this year and drove it from Mpls to our repair shop, an hour away with no problems but it was hard to steer due to the lack of power steering fluid. We were going to have some cosmetic stuff done to the car and the hose replaced but the repair shop that has the car, lost the key. That's where it's been ever since. We haven't driven it since that day. I have since got a new ignition and a set of keys for the car but the shop hasn't put it in yet. Now, we can't afford to fix the car and need the money so we're selling it. I am not charging for the ignition and keys. Those are free to the buyer. They are brand new. NOT USED! The car has a 6 cylinder 3.0 gas engine. I apologize, I don't remember how many miles are on the car but I THINK there was around 150,000. Again, I'm not exactly sure on that. The transmission was overhauled in 2001. The tires are 195/65.15 and are decent. Registered in MN and tabs are good through November of this year. Power windows, power door locks, moon roof, air conditioning, air bags, ect. This car rides absolutely beautifully! With a little TLC and cleaning, this could be a hell of a car. It does start and drive but due to the ignition being taken out and the new one not in yet, the car will need to be towed, trailered or maybe you and the shop can work something out as far as getting the car drivable. It won't take much at all. A GREAT FIXER UPPER or PARTS CAR! ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING!!!!!! Cash at time of pick up only! If you don't intend to pay, then don't bid! NOTE: There is nothing wrong with the hood. It is popped open and not closed all the way. In the photo, it appears that there may be something wrong with it. ALSO, I reserve the right to end this auction early!On Aug-31-10 at 08:24:22 PDT, seller added the following information: ******* NOTE****** The new ignition has been installed and the car is running. Still needs a power steering hose. On Aug-31-10 at 11:47:24 PDT, seller added the following information: ADDED NOTE: I just got back form the shop where the car is located. I felt I needed to update the situation before anyone bids. As I stated, the car DOES run and drive but the guys who installed the ignition said that the car is very hard to start due to the lack of spark. They checked things out and said that it needs a cap and rotor. Plugs and wires. We have since checked the availability and cost for these parts and it would cost around $225.00 for everything and the parts store can have them in a couple of days. I do not intend to buy the parts to fix so the car is being offered, as-is. If anyone has questions and would like to talk to me directly, feel free to call me at (651)304-7588. Unless you get the parts and bring them with to install so the car can be driven, it will need to be towed.
