Vehicle Detail
How much do you spend on gas? Even at today's prices, it costs about $35.00 to fill the tank of this vehicle. Why spend $75+ at the pump to get from A to B? This is a 1999 Chevy (Geo) Metro LSI, 4 cylinder, automatic. The title is clear and in my name (Massachusetts title). This has been my daily driver since March. I bought this car because my job required a lot of driving and based the on the mileage the car gets, the Metro was an easy decision. This car is great in the city and can fit into those small parking spaces other cars can’t. If your job or lifestyle requires you to drive a lot of miles, the Metro is a no-brainer. This car has been a very pleasant surprise and has been 100% reliable. It has more pep than I expected and is a blast to drive. It cruises at 70-75MPH easily, no vibration, nice, straight and smooth. I have put 17,000 miles on it since March 2011 and have never even had a hint of a problem. When I bought it I had the following done and hold the receipts for your records: Replaced exhaust system including, new muffler, middle pipe, front pipe and gasket, replaced front brakes, new front rotors, rear brake line, replaced left front caliper, replaced rear O2 sensor, four (4) brand new tires mount and balanced, coolant flush, new battery, oil and filter change every 3000 miles, fixed passenger door lock. Receipts totaling $1336.00. It comes with daytime running lights, nighttime lights and high beams, intermittent/three speed wipers, wiper spray works perfectly. All dash lights work and has dimmer. Interior/door lights. Rear defrost. Driver and passenger airbags. Clarion detachable face CD player with front and rear speakers. Two cup sliding cup holder in the middle of console. Working cigarette lighter. Gas gauge and odometer works properly and is accurate. All directional’s and lights work. Four speed fan and all levels work perfectly. It has AC and the light illuminates and blows but needs an charge. Emergency brake is perfect. Each door shuts tight and locks and unlocks with key. No noises on highway, windows roll and shut as they should. Original spare tire and jack in the trunk and comes with original manual. Interior is like new condition, nice and clean and I am a non-smoker. Minor things I’ve lived with: The service engine light is on but my mechanic said it is due to the gas cap I have (non-factory/not a Metro cap. A gas cap is probably $15-$20). This makes sense because section 2-43 of the Metro manual says a loose gas cap can illuminate the light. It has not affected the vehicle in any way, however. The car has light surface rust at the bottom of doors, above the rear wheels (fenders) rocker panels and radiator bracket. If you want to address this, you could probably find someone on Craigslist to sand, patch, prime and touch paint for $150 or so. It looks like the driver’s side fender got in a little ding at some point, which is probably the accident that comes up in the Car Fax. The paint is a bit faded and there are some minor blemishes but, I imagine you're getting this vehicle for the MPG, reliability, and inexpensive maintenance. The vehicle is 13 years old, please keep that in mind. When filling with gas, there is a small leak on the neck and stops once I stop filling (I put a cup underneath, it catches about an ounce of gas and I put it back in the tank. This is about a $50 dollar fix). The hatch opens from the interior only and does not open from the outside. I am selling because I just had a baby and need to do the "Volvo safety thing". This is being sold as is and I encourage anyone that is in the area to take it for a test drive and get checked out by a mechanic. I have described this vehicle as best and accurate as possible. Please contact me with any questions and I will be happy to talk to you. This car has taken great care or me and will do the same for you. If you are looking at this car you realize the benefits of the Metro, and want to save a couple thousand dollars a year in gas like I did. I can deliver the car within a reasonable distance for a reasonable fee. The car is 25 miles north of Boston. Bottom Line: I need at least $1500 for the vehicle or I will trade it in. So no need to ask what the reserve is. I reserve the right to sell locally end the bidding at any time. Thank you, good luck and happy bidding!
