Vehicle Detail

For sale 1994 Geo Metro converted to Electric Car.I did not do the conversion, but bought it from the person who did. I have driven it a handful of miles. It runs fine, but is not the right vehicle for us.Last driven this month. Has CURRENT inspection sticker - done last month, passed no problem.FOR LOCAL PICK UP ONLY IN Concord, MA only - Contact us to view and test drive. FAQs:Gets roughly Forty-five 45 miles to a charge. We have not tested the limits of that.If you want to convert it to a solar car - feel free, I know nothing about how to do that.Fine to have a car service pick up. I would HIGHLY recommend having a trusted person inspect and test drive the car BEFORE spending a lot of money to move it across country.Sorry we are not interested in a trade in, we need money for the kid's college fund.Yes I know it is weird to convert a Geo to an electric car, wasn't my idea.
