MY FATHER PASSED AWAY IN MAY OF 2008. THIS WAS HIS SECOND CAR "HIS BABY". MY FATHER LIVED IN CANADA AND THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY TITLED THEIR. WHEN HE PASSED AWAY, MY SISTER AND I DID THE PROPER PAPERWORK AND HAD THE CAR MOVED TO THE UNITED STATES AND RETITLED WHERE I LIVE (IN MISSISSIPPI). SINCE THIS IS A CANADIAN VERSION THE MANUAL ODOMETER CLOCKS THE MILEAGE IN KILOMETERS. DASH CAN BE READ IN MILES THOUGH. THE CAR WAS GARAGED KEPT IT'S WHOLE LIFE. IT HAS 203000 MILES ON IT BUT VERY VERY BABIED MILES. SINCE 100,000 KMS OR 60000 MILES MY DAD PUT SYNTHETIC OIL IN IT. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN IN THE WINTER. SINCE IT CAME TO ME, I HAVE GARAGE KEPT IT. I AM ABOUT TO MOVE AND DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR THIS CAR. MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN. I WANT THE CAR TO GO TO A ENTHUSIAST WHO WILL APRECIATE THE CAR SO I AM PUTTING NO RESERVE ON THE CAR. I HAVE LISTED THE CAR LOCALLY FOR $5800.00 AND RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY IF IT SELLS LOCALLY. MY WIFE AND I HAVE A CHRYSLER PROWLER AND A CADILLAC CTS-V THAT WE BOUGHT OFF EBAY AND I LOVE EBAY'S EASE OF USE. ALRIGHT NOW TO THE CAR. THE ENGINE IS STILL THE ORIGINAL ENGINE. IT RUNS BEAUTIFULLY. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AT AROUND 165000 MILES BUT ONLY BECAUSE MY DAD WAS WORRIED ABOUT IT GOING ON HIM SO HE HAD IT DONE. IN 2007 THE YEAR BEFORE HE PASSED, HE SPENT $3000.00 ON A BRAND NEW TOP FOR THE CAR!!!. HE LOVED THIS CAR... THE DRIVERS SEAT IS IN GOOD CONDITION BUT THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS A BAD CRACK IN THE LEATHER. THE PASSENGER DOOR HAS A SMALL SPOT BY THE HANDLE THAT NEEDS BODY WORK (ABOUT 1.5"). THE WEATHER STIPPING IS CRACKING BUT TO BE EXPECTED FOR SUCH AND OLD CAR. VERY MINOR. IN 2005 ON A VISIT TO ME MY DAD HAD THE A/C SYSTEM CONVERTED TO 134A COOLANT. HE REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR AND THE EVAPORATOR AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN HE GOT BACK HOME IT RAN FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS THEN STARTED BLOWING WARM. THEIR IS A SMALL LEAK IN THE SYSTEM SOMEWHERE BUT HE NEVER MADE IT BACK DOWN HERE. SO THE A/C HAS BEEN CHANGED AND IT STILL BLOWS BUT THEIR IS A MINOR LEAK IN THE SYSTEM THAT CAN BE REPAIRED FOR CHEAP. I JUST CHANGED THE BATTERY YESTERDAY PUT A NEW STARTER ON IT BECAUSE EVERY NOW AND THEN IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. THE PAINT IN MY OPINION IS VERY DULL BECAUSE OF IT'S AGE AND REALLY NEEDS A NEW PAINT JOB. YOU CAN SEE MINOR SCRATCHES IN IT AND HAS FLAKED OFF THE MIRRORS. THE DIGITAL DASH CAN READ IN MILES OR KM'S AND IS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER. POWER WINDOWS WORK BUT THE LOCKS DON'T. RADIO WORKS FINE IS BOSE. THE OXYGEN SENSORS WERE CHANGED BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BOTHERED MY DAD LOL!!!. THE BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ARE ON BECAUSE PRIOR TO COMING DOWN HERE TO ME MY SISTER HAD THE CAR CHECKED OUT FOR SAFETY BEFORE DRIVING IT 1200 MILES AND THEY SAID THAT THE ABS SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THEY COULD NOT LOCATE ONE SO THEY DISABLED THE ABS TO BE SAFE. THAT IS WHY THE LIGHT IS ON SO IT NEEDS AN ABS SENSOR. FOR THAT TRIP MY SISTER PUT TWO BRAND NEW BF GOODRIDGE 255/50ZR16. THEY ONLY HAVE 1400 MILES ON THEM. THE REAR HAS FIRESTONES AND HAVE ABOUT 60% LIFE ON THEM. THE EXHAUST WAS ALSO CHANGED AROUND FOUR YEARS AGO, AND ALL THE OTHER COMPONENTS ALTERNATOR ETC. HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN IT'S LIFETIME. CAR IS IN AMAZING MECHANICAL SHAPE HAVING BEEN BABIED IT'S WHOLE LIFE. NUMEROUS ENGINE SHAMPOOS. THE CAR OBVIOUSLY HAS NO WARRANTY AND IS BEING SOLD AS-IS WITH NO RETURNS. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKING THE CAR UP ( I LIVE IN THE GULFPORT/BILOXI AREA) OR HAVING IT SHIPPED. I WILL HELP WITH GETTING THE CAR SHIPPED BUT IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY. AGAIN I HAVE PURCHASED TWO CARS MYSELF ON EBAY AND IT'S EASY TO GET A CAR SHIPPED. I WOULD PREFER A $500 DOWN PAYMENT WITHIN 48HOURS AND THE BALANCE IN 5 DAYS BY EITHER WIRETRANSFER OR CERTIFIED FUNDS. THIS CAR IS VERY FUN AND I HOPE IT GOES TO A GOOD HOME. HAPPY BIDDING!!!!
