Vehicle Detail

I purchased this car in November of 2010 and have used this as my commuter car ever since. It has a WVO waste vegetable oil system installed in it. The car runs great, and if you’re looking to get into the WVO hobby this is a great first car. I purchased this car from a High School automotive teacher who installed the kit and meticulously maintained it. I have changed the oil and WVO filter every month no matter how many miles I used it. I roughly put 2500 miles a month on it. I have set this car up as a commuter car. The radio was a little scratchy and the speakers were stock, they were replaced with pioneer speakers and head unit. The motorized antenna was not working, so I had a local machine shop make an adapter and have a non retractable stiff antenna on it. This car can get roughly 1200 – 1400 miles to 14gal of diesel and 20 gal of WVO. We have driven it from Hewitt, NJ to Atlantic City and 2/3 of the way back on WVO. We could of made it all the way home if we would of brought some extra WVO. The WVO system has an Artic Fox heater to ensure the WVO is hot enough when it goes into the injection pump. The previous owner lived in Syracuse, NY and never had any problems with it in the winter. This car is surprisingly great in the snow without snow tires. It also comes with a full set of snow tires mounted on Mercedes rims that make this car even better in the snow. The trip odometer broke shortly after I got it, so I laid the car up for a week and had the gauge cluster sent out. The cluster is under warranty for 1 year. I will continue to drive this car until it is sold, so the mileage will be slightly higher that what is in the picture. I will change the oil, oil filter and, WVO filter prior to the new owner picking it up. This car is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
