Vehicle Detail

THIS LITTLE MERCURY LYNX GS CAR IS FUN TO DRIVE, NOT FAST BUT FUN. THE DRIVETRAIN IS QUIET AND SMOOTH, IT'S A MANUAL 5 SPEED AND THE CLUTCH OPERATES FINE. IT'S CURRENT MILEAGE MAY GO UP A FEW MORE MILES AS WE LIKE TO RUN ERRANDS IN IT. IT HAS VERY GOOD FIRESTONE TIRES ON IT, ALL THE GLASS IS GOOD. THE RUBBER STRIP SEALS ALONG THE OUTSIDE BOTTOM OF THE SIDE WINDOWS ARE CRACKED. THE TACHOMETER ISN'T WORKING. THE PASSENGER OUTSIDE MIRROR IS MISSING THE GLASS. THE "WAIT TO START" LIGHT STAYS ON. THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH A COOLANT LEAK OR HEADGASKET. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE RADIATOR FAN WAS NOT WORKING AND THE CAR WOULD RUN WARM IF IT WASN'T MOVING. I'VE SINCE "HOT WIRED" THE FAN AND NOW THINGS SEEM NORMAL OTHER THAN IT PEES A LITTLE COOLANT FROM THE PLASTIC OVERFLOW TANK AFTER YOU TURN IT OFF. I'M NOT SURE WHY. I LET THE CAR SIT AND RUN FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES TODAY AND THE TEMPERATURE STAYED NORMAL, THEN I DROVE IT AROUND, LET IT RUN WHILE I TOOK THE PICTURES, DROVE IT BACK TO THE LOT AND LET IT IDLE SITTING STILL FOR ANOTHER FEW MINUTES, THE TEMP REMAINED NORMAL. THE WIRES FOR THE ELECTRIC FAN ARE A TEMPORARY INSTALLATION. THERE IS SOME RUST ON THE BODY AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. THE CAR IS NOT ALL THAT PRETTY BUT IT DRIVES GREAT. THE ODO AND TITLE SHOW 10.212 MILES, WE'VE DRIVEN IT ABOUT 15 MILES SINCE PURCHASE. I'VE DRIVEN IT DOWN I - 75 AT OVER 60 MPH COMFORTABLY. THE BRAKES WORK FINE. THE CLEAR OHIO TITLE READS "EXCEEDS MECHANICAL LIMITS" ON THE MILEAGE, THE INTERIOR IS IN TERRIFIC SHAPE, NO WEAR HOLES IN THE SEATS, THE HEADLINER LOOKS GREAT. THE PHOTOGRAPHS TELL THE STORY BEST, IT'S NOT A PERFECT CAR BUT IT HAS A LOTTA LIFE LEFT IN IT. THE STICKER IN THE ENGINE BAY FOR THE ENGINE READS "HFM 2.0 D6JBB4 2.0 E7AE-9C 485 CBG" WE ARE A USED CAR DEALER IN CINCINNATI OHIO, WE REQUIRE A $500 DEPOSIT WITHIN THREE DAYS OF THE AUCTION'S END, FULL PAYMENT WITHIN SEVEN DAYS.
