4 295 original miles. 99% complete car. Due to the employment of the owner(seller) in an international organisation was driven in this country only occasionally. One day it was sent to a local repair shop to install a premium high end audio system. From there it was stolen by a former mechanic. Was found and returned to the owner by police several weeks later. Lightly stripped and vandalized. Due to the lack of time was never fully fixed. Once a year got a fresh registration and inspection. And was driven for a few hundred miles - just to keep alive. Last time registration was renewed and inspection passed in 2008. Since then sits in the back yard. About a year ago fuel pump was replaced. And with a new battery the car successfully started , was lot driven and was running for more than an hour. It was in August. At the peak of the heat in NY. Ran very smoothly. Did not overheat at all. It has the clear Title. But due to the fact that it was stolen and recovered it will have to pass a 907 inspection . With all receipts for replaced parts. At least in New York. Or it can be used as a donor car for parts for a similar car with bad engine or tranny or with extra high mileage. A/C is not cold. Steering is hard. Many warning lights on the panel. Some occasional rust on the body is possible due to the long sitting. Needs good cleaning. I have neither time nor interest to fix it. Needs good tune-up and serious electrical work after long sitting. Missing/ stolen parts: VIN plate (needs re-VIN), door lock cylinder, CD changer, GPS module in the trunk, amplifier. Some interior plastic parts. But most of them are in the trunk. Must be towed. $500 non-refundable deposit must be paid with paypal within twenty four hours after the auction end. Remaining amount – in cash. Must be paid in full and removed within one week. I am in NY for a short time only. Please ask questions.
