Starts, runs, drives. This would be a good car that needs tlc to make a daily driver or a more thorough approach to make a really good example of fun, spacious, and great fuel mileage car. I drove it in the fall and winter and I am not sure the electric radiator fan comes on. It has an air conditioning compressor on the engine but I don't know the condition of the system. The title is mileage exempt. The wipers didn't move last time I started it but they ran before just fine. The headliner cloth is gone and the foam backing is still there. The back seat has a fray in the fabric on the drivers side you may see in the pictures. The drivers seat doesn't quite match the others. It is kind of a gray/blue fabric seat and the others are gray/black fabric with black sides. The top of the door panels need to be reattached as you can see in the pictures. We replaced the brakes and the tires are about 80%. The car drives pretty good and fairly smooth to 65 which is the fastest I had it. The body is probably the best attribute for an older diesel. I didn't see any rust other than the surface rust in the paint scrapes as shown in the pictures the worst being above the rear drivers wheel. The clear coat has come off in some areas giving it that blue to silver look. I don't really know what mpg it currently gets because I drive about 5 different vehicles and was unable to keep accurate records but I have read of others getting 50 to 55mpg. Ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them or if you want to inspect it call me. 864-303-3286 I purchased the car myself for a high mpg vehicle because of the condition of the body and interior, assuming the rest of the parts can be replaced if needed, but I can't find time to give it the attention it deserves.
