It has always been very dependable car. I have changed the oil faithfully at 3000 mile intervals since I have had the car. Never had any transmission problems or major mechanical issues. Mechanical: I replaced the fuel distributing pump, two front tires are brand new, brakes were replaced about 4,000 miles ago with front rotors included. Starter is fairly new. I just replaced the fan clutch. Fan belts are good. Radiator is 2 years old. It does need the headgasket replaced and the front electric fan. The a/c needs switch needs some attention, a/c compressor was replaced new about 2 years ago. Has a new Interstate Battery about a year ago (car was only driven for about 3 or 4 months after that). Cruise control needs looked at. Reason I am selling: I started the car to go to work and walked back outside to see it over heating. I shut it off and ordered a fan clutch because it was spinning to freely. After replacing the fan clutch, I started it up noticing that their was a leak coming from the passenger side headgasket. I have not started it since that day to prevent any damage. I do not have the time to repair it and am selling it as is. Interior: The seats are all leather, the passenger side seat has cracked and started splitting. The very rear section of the headliner needs 2 clips to resecure it to the roof. Needs a radio, speakers work. There are other signs of normal wear as any car with this many miles and of this year. Exterior: The body is straight. It has not been in any major wrecks that I am aware of. The rear antenna needs to be replaced with the right one. However the antenna does work. There are some some minor scrapes as seen in the photos. Windshield is cracked. This car is sold as is and would make a good project car for anyone wanting to do the repairs. It is not driveable because of the headgasket. Please make arrangements to pick it up. Or e-mail me to make arrangements. Good luck on your bidding! d
