Vehicle Detail
Up for auction is "Rosie", my daughters local college transportation. This was her first car and we have been keeping it for sentimental reasons as well as it is just plain fun to drive. It gets lots of oohs and aahs along with 40-50 MPG. We have always garaged this car, but it needs to find a home that will drive it more often. Only 11,000 miles have been put on this car going to and from local college since purchased it in 2009. I have receipts showing over $7,000 spent on the car in the last 21,000 miles of the cars history. Repairs include the following by myself or the previous owner: Current odometer 135,765 Rebuilt 1.6L diesel engine installed @ 114,000 miles.Professionally built by RPM Performance Engines. Original 1.5L was not worthy of rebuilding.New Clutch and all hoses/belts during engine rebuildThese repairs totaled $3500 New front and rear brakes/calipers @114,000 miles New shocks/struts/wheel bearings and seals @118,000 miles Re-paint to original Miami Blue @ 120,000 miles. Done in 2008. Cost $1300 New CV boots @ 125,000 milesInstalled 200W sound system with subwoofer. Rebuilt alternator/starter @ 130,000 milesNew tiresNew Battery Rebuilt injector pump @ 133,000 miles. $1,000All new shifter bushings Current odometer is 135,765 All repairs done by professional shops between 2006 and 2014 The car has averaged 4300 miles/year over the past 8 years This car is a real time capsule and is very solid. "Rosy" is located in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.She is for sale locally also, but this car needs to go to Miami or California to be driven as original or customized. The car can be shipped or is road ready for a trip. Ask lots of questions on Ebay My reserve is less than what has been spent on professional repairs. Good Luck bidding!
