Vehicle Detail
I drive this car daily approximately 60 miles round trip to work/home. It drives straight down the road and the engine is smooth and strong. That's about the extent of the good stuff. Here's the bad: Recently, the air, cruise, blower and automatic headlights stopped working at the same time. They would work occasionally, always all at once, but about 2 weeks ago they quit and haven't worked since. It is probably the clock spring. The headlights still work but only with the manual knob. The passenger rear window doesn't work. It is siliconed shut to stop it from falling down. The other power windows only work with the driver's control. Last winter, I had a problem with this car stalling without warning. It would have to sit for about 10 minutes before I could start it. I replaced the Ignition Control Module and that fixed it, I have not had it stall since. Sometimes when it has been warmed up, it won't start right away after shutting it off. I have been able to get it to start by placing the other key (which has a chip) near the ignition and then it starts. Other times I have poured ice water on the Ignition Control Module and that has worked. Other times, I have had to let it sit for 10 minutes. It does this about 3 times a week. The tires are in fair/good condition. The gas guage wasn't working when I got it so I used the odometer trip as a guide to when it needed gas. The lights on the instrument cluster went out last summer so I sent it to another ebay seller who fixed it for $85. The lights are nice and bright. I am still driving this car. It will be ready to go as soon as the winning bidder can pick it up. I will meet or drop off for .30 per mile round trip. EXAMPLE: If I drive it 100 miles, that will be 200 miles round trip = $60.00. This will pay for gas there for 2 cars and 1 car back. It must be paid in advance. 150 mile limit. I WILL NOT ACCEPT OFFERS TO SELL EARLY. BID IF YOU WANT IT.
