Vehicle Detail
Okay, I will try to describe this vehicle as best that I possibly can, if you have any questions that I haven't answered in the description just email me and I will do my best to answer them. The Good: Everything works that I know of. There are some idiosyncrasies that this car has that are not factory: The glow plugs work on a push button on the dash instead of the iginition switch. The stereo works but is not factory. The heater blower motor works but only on high speed (Just bought a new one for $150 but doesn't work on all 4 speeds). Tires are 70-75% Transmission Shifts smoothly Exhaust is good The Bad: Dent in the drivers' side passengers door. Drivers' side passenger door doesn't open with the door knob that I put on cause I broke it putting it on. ( A new one costs $15) Headliner is gone. Emergency brake doesn't work. Heater motor only works on high speed. Fuel Injector pump has a small leak somewhere. All four door armrests look pink instead of brown like the rest of the interior. There are some strange wiring things going on in the engine compartment that I have no idea what they are about but as far as I know everything seems to work. This car came out with A/C but the compressor is missing so I have no idea if it can be fixed or not. On Jul-09-12 at 15:30:37 PDT, seller added the following information: Ok, I do want to clarify a few things: When I said everything works, I meant everything but the A/C and rear door but it just needs a new handle, and also, everything works but maybe not quite like it did from the factory (like the glow plug pushbutton) but they do actually work! Also, this is a 30 yr. old car, it is going to have some minor dings and scratches except as described on the drivers' side passenger door, it's a little more than minor but I wouldn't classify it as major. Also, being a 30 yr. old car, it is going to have its' share of rattles and noises so PLEASE don't think you are going to get a pristine wonderful quiet little car, you're not, but you will get a nice little beater that gets some awesome fuel mileage. I have had this as my near daily driver for almost two years and have had really good luck so I would hope that that would continue with the new owner. Do not hesitate to ask questions, I want good feedback so I am trying my best to describe this car as it is and so nobody gets any surprises. I have bought and sold several things on ebay with good results but this is the first vehicle that I have sold. Thanks
