Vehicle Detail

Drives & handles very well. This vehicle ran perfectly as a daily driver until the day the engine suddenly started having timing chain issues. Sometimes it runs perfectly but then one of the links slip & it barely runs then it is fine again. I know the tranny is good but the engine needs to be repaired. I took it to 3 places to be sure & they all said that it is the timing chain. My main mechanic opened it up & said there is no other damage but the chain has bad links in it. I’m told by my mechanic that it is fairly easy to fix but is time consuming. About 9 hours in labor according to the mechanic’s pricing manual. The timing chain itself is very cheap if you can do it yourself. Has the good 3.0 Litre engine. Everyone says this one is way better than the 3.8 Litre option. Everything else works great except the engine. The interior is in perfect, detailed condition. However the outside has some bumps. We park it outside & we are next to a bar. It has been bumped while parked at least 3 times at night as you can see in the pics. As you can see in Ebay's vehicle history report above it has never been in a driving accident. All blemished happened while parked. It has current inspection & emission stickers until July 2010 & will easily pass again as we keep up on all repairs. I have it priced cheap to move it quickly. Please do not call & offer me less. I bought it not too long ago for $2,300, made repairs for inspection & I’ve fixed everything wrong with it less the timing chain. It is well worth every cent I’m asking & more. I just needed a vehicle faster than it could be fixed so I bought something else & now I don’t need it & don’t want to mess with it. Ebay auto filled a sunroof with cloth interior when there actually is no sunroof & it is leather interior I have it for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel the ad at any time. It is parked between the blue building & the ball park next to the railroad tracks at: 617 Butler Street (Route 8) Etna / Pgh, Pa 15223 Just north of Route 28 North edge of Pittsburgh Call with any questions.
