[Exterior Description]
Really not all THAT bad, minimal dings scratches on the roof and a little on the trunk. Chipping hood. Paint is fading in some places but shines alright. Both rocker panels are pretty rusty but thats the only rust I see
[Interior Description]
Clean I guess, not so much torn up as I honestly didnt care too much about it. Its dirt dirty.
[Overview]
I bought this car last November from a local dealerships mechanic. He used it to commute and it was a third car that he had no use for. Its not in the best of shape but I’ve driven It non-stop up until last week when I bought my g20 (also for sale) I don’t know how many miles are on it because the odometer does not work. In fact I have three clusters, one from a Tbird supercoupe (with stock b00st gauge!) The cluster currently in the car reads 103,000 I believe. The title said 174,000 if I recall correctly (I had it photocopied before I handed it into the DMV) so I estimate it at 200,000. I checked off not actual mileage on the title because I didn’t want future owners to be tricked. The car was in an accident a couple of years ago (I lost the carfax but it shows it and there are no mileage discrepancies) but was repaired. Looks to be the headlights that were smashed and the bumper cracked. I was told it was a low speed rear ending.
I changed the oil and that’s it. The car is fairly sound.
[What the car needs]
Front end bushings. The mechanic I bought the car off of gave me them, I don’t know what they are for. Depending on the speed youre going the cars front end will shake upon deceleration. I drove the car like this for nine months as far as NYC.
The drivers window needs help going up - motor is shot.
Car idles around 1000
It needs a radiator, its just old and after an hour it starts to overheat. I was using it to and from work, local errands, wawa so I never got it to really overheat. I brought it to a mechanic for this, its not the thermostat and the water pump is fine. We both believe it’s the radiator, I can put you in touch with my mechanic to verify his thoughts.
The mufflers are cut off so its kinda loud. I have them though. No check engine lights or anything of that sort. It’s a very good, albeit ****ty on gas beater.
I don’t know what else to say about it. PLEASE ask any and all questions. I drove it for months and trust it, its just a high mileage car that needs a bit of work.
