This car is one owner and rarely driven or moved from the garage. It has 25,xxx original miles, never wrecked or damaged and always maintained and garaged. The car belonged to a relative and when she passed away the car was passed to me. I have no need or desire to keep the car but don't wish to see it sent the scrap yard. I have maintained the car for the past 20 years, driving it every month or so and having it serviced regularly. As you can see in the photos I have the original window sticker. The only mileage it has had in the past 10 years is the mileage to and from for maintenance, smog checks, and, an occasional trip down the road to turn the wheels and spin the transmission and other parts. I replaced the original tires about 5 years ago (the originals were flat spotted) and the current tires have approximately 200 miles on them. The turn signal handle will not hold its position when turned to the left or right, the headliner has some spots that are beginning to sag. Other than those there are no other known issues with the car. Again the car is one owner, garaged since new, bought from the local dealer, the owner was 89 when she passed away. The car has not been restored or detailed, it is the condition the car has been kept in for its life time. Reserve on the car is set at $1,200, that is basically the dollar amount the state of California will pay me to have the car crushed... Late add on info: This car was listed approximately 6 weeks ago, the high bidder either was unable or unwilling to pay the cost to transport the car from California to the East Coast. The car is back on Ebay, but he car has been sitting in the weather for the past 5 weeks. This car had never been in the weather its entire life. Just information I wanted to share with any bidders.I On Feb-04-13 at 10:43:19 PST, seller added the following information: To all bidders: I have had a number of request to sell the car without going through the entire bidding process on Ebay, but I figured if I put it on Ebay then I am obligated to let it run its course for all bidders. I have been asked a few times about storing the car while arrangements can be made for shipping or moving the car. I will do everything possible to assist the winning bidder, If the bid is paid in full. Storing the car while the bidder does not make payment is not acceptable. I hope this clears up most of the questions I have had concerning the car. If you have any questions please just drop me an email and I will do my best to answer them. Thanks for looking,
