Price reduced to $10,895

Moving to the Caribbean - MUST SELL!!!

I've been lurking on the forum for a while. It seems like there are some good folks here so I thought I would post my car for sale in case one of you is looking for a car like this.

I recently lost my real estate job in Houston. I decided I needed a change (and an even warmer climate) so I am moving to St. Croix in the Virgin Islands. I just decided to sell my car earlier in the week - it was a tough decision.

This high mileage daily driver has a bunch of miles on it, but it also has some sharp modifications. The best buyer for this car is someone who can work on it at home...this car has a lot of repairs that are needed and hourly auto shop rates will be too much. This is my daily driver and the engine runs strong.

I dropped the price to $10,895 yesterday. All of the sudden I seem to have hit the "magic" number as far as price. Based on the phone calls I have been receiving I have a feeling that I will sell this car before the weekend. In anyone in the Houston area wants to take a shot at this deal I would recommend getting it in gear. This car is a daily driver and it looks better than you would think just based on the mileage.

I have several serious buyers coming to look at the car today. If you are in the Houston area and think you are interested please give me a call to schedule an appointment while it is still available.

I drive this car daily. The car is a good driver in its present condition. Please call (713-724-9070) for more specific details, but here is a general list of larger repairs. There is smaller stuff that just bugs me (like missing radio *****, exhaust tips out of alignment, etc.), but I'll just list major repairs needed:

- Shifter pops out of reverse most of the time and grinds in first gear some of the time. I think this is "mesh sync" issue or something like that (I'm not a fix-it-yourself guy for major repairs so I know enough here to be dangerous)

- Power steering fluid leaks sometimes. I think it leaks more in warmer temps because it hasn't leaked much recently.

- Driver-side seat skin and foam is shot

- There is a 6" x 8" peice of fiberglass (composite) missing behind the passenger-side rear wheel. The damage is confined to the rear bumper and not the fender panel.

- I have mismatched tires. The rears are the stock Goodyear EMTs and the fronts are non-runflats. All four are Z-rated and have decent tread. I would suggest the new owner get Goodyear GS-D3 runflats all around.

- There is some damage to the anti-sway bar on the rear passenger-side

- The lexan top has some scratches on it

- Oil sender pressure gauge needs to be installed (I have the part already)

I just replaced the water pump ($539 installed). The engine is running great!
