Sold
SOLDI have pics in the craigslist ad; Orange County CA. Price reduced to SOLD This is a lot of car for very little money and I am surprised it hasn't sold. Excellent running and driving good looking car. I have another back surgery coming and I chose the selling price because that is the amount of credit card debt I need to pay off. I would not hesitate to drive this car on a cross country trip. I drive it on weekends but my health is not so good and I'm having more difficulty getting in and out of it. I bought it from the original owner at 76k miles and have about 89 to 93.5k miles on it. I have replaced the belts, pulleys, idler, tensioner etc. when the belt started squeaking. The radiator started to leak so I replaced the water pump, radiator, and hoses. The tires showed wear so I bought new tires, not run flats. The negatives are; The speedometer works fine but the odometer started saying "odometer error". The AC digital temperature readout works sporadically. The AC works fine but the display usually doesn't light up. If I keep the car I will have the drivers seat reupholstered. The rest of the interior is great, just honest wear. I've never had it detailed but I do try to keep the car clean. As you can probably see I haven't vacuumed the interior or done anything to really show the car at its best. Anyway there is no body damage and it is a very nice looking car and runs and drives perfect.

Great looking car. BTW those Sumitomo tires are what I ran on my 2000. At 12,000 miles they are at half life. Good in rain, quiet on the highways.
GLWS. Someone's getting a bargain.

The ac display is easily a diy project. It's just a matter of removing the unit, pulling out the pc board and re flow the solder on the 8 relays.

Don't let one bad experience turn you off. I've been sandbagged over a long distance more times than I can count, but I still drove 900 miles one way with a trailer to pick up a pristine Impala SS. Best advice I can give, try to get a video of the car.
