Another Craigslist jewel!

Just fix the "scratch" in the hood and lay some new carpets in it and it's as good as new!

At least he's not asking a ton of money for it.

I'd say he was tired of trying to mow around it.

I think "scach" is Missouri speak for "hit by meteor."

Fairly amazing how much stuff under the hood got changed after only 4500 miles. As a rule, I'd mow the grass around a car before taking pictures for a sales listing.

You are right though, not asking that much.

Looks like a meteor hit the hood.

Come on, who hasn't done that: Buy a new sports car, drive it 5K miles, and park it in the weeds.

Car would run better if engine was not mounted like they do in Japenese cars.

Hi,
In the last picture it looks like a big window air conditioner sitting in the grass too. Is that what bounced off the hood? Did someone throw it at the car? The 'scratch' leads in that direction?!?!
Regards,
Alan

At this point does it matter if it has 4500 original miles?

My thoughts exactly. I should go check it out and see. I can't believe it's running, let alone road worthy.
