Vehicle Detail
Up for bidding is this nice 1998 Ford Escort ZX2, with 136k mi on it. 5 speed manual transmission. The vehicle was running like a champ until last monday, when a connecting rod broke and made a hole on a side of the block. The car starts for a little while but is undriveable. I know the hole can be repaired and the rod changed, or I could get a good motor for $200 (Pickn'Pull auto dismantlers). But I don't have the time to mess with that. I love this vehicle because is fast and a super gas saver ($25 to fill the tank). The car has new clutch 1 week old (I have receipt). The A/C was serviced a few hours before the motor broke. I've paid over $400 for that job (oh, well) So I can guarantee an ice cold A/C on this vehicle. Both lower ball joints were replaced last week also (have receipt for that too) Everything else works (interior light, horn, radio, etc) Two new front tires less than 2 weeks old. This car has no accidents. This car has never overheated. Clear Texas title in hand. I really believe this is a great chance for a handyman to have an excellent car. Pick up only. The vehicle is in Lake Dallas, 75065. I expect the payment no more than 3 days after the auction close. You can choose PayPal or cash at the pick up time but please, don't bid if you don't have the money!! Any questions please ask Thank you and good luck bidding!!
