This is a gorgeous sedan which has been very well cared for but now needs repair from an accident. Black, with buff leather interior. I've owned it since 2006 and love it, but I can't afford the repair so I'm offering it for sale as is. Sunroof, heated seats, factory stereo, factory telephone! Transmission was rebuilt in 2013 at 108,790 miles . I have the maintenance receipts and the owner's manual. The car slid off the road during the ice storm into some trees, which caused the damage. It was such slow impact that the air bags didn't deploy, thank goodness. The engine and transmission are unaffected but it does have driver's side body damage to the front left corner and back door and broken window as you can see. Repair estimate is around $3500-4000 from a local repair shop. You and your mechanic can inspect it all you want if you come look before the auction ends. You'll need new tires. A/C and heater work fine. The overall investment will be worth it. This is a very fine luxury car! It's at my house in Olympia Fields, IL 60461 about 28 miles south of downtown Chicago. It MUST be removed by a tow truck within 5 days after the auction ends. Payment is due immediately. You can pay by paypal or by cash in person when you pick it up. Please don't hesitate to ask me for more info or photos, or come to inspect it in person yourself.

If you are handy with such auto repairs, of course you could save a lot of money doing work yourself. I do have a clear title, and even after the car hit the trees, the car was running great. Please let me know if you have any questions. On Mar-27-15 at 22:34:09 PDT, seller added the following information: This is the Vanden Plas model. I think two of the tires will hold air, plus the spare tire in the trunk. I can't guarantee that and I recommend all new tires for safety. I was told the frame does not appear to be bent, but because of the way the metal bent around a tree at the front left wheel, it's not possible to drive the vehicle until some work is done. Therefore you'll need to tow the car away. The hubcap on the rear wheel which you can see is missing in the photos, is in the trunk and it's included.
