i looked at that car and it was a total turd.....
when i looked at it in early december he had just reduced price to $8k.... quite a drop to current price.

It is a sunroof delete, but had much problems...
headliner is sagging at every edge, about 2" plus at windshield.
door panel inserts are coming apart and will not fit back in correctly.
window switches will not stay in console, "frame that they fit in is broken... windows are intermittent.
drivers seat is inop.
rear windshield wiper is inop
seats are shot
mucho tools in rear, covered by cloth, carpet is very oily and greasy from tools.
open container of generic convenience store oil was sitting down in the spare tire, and oil had spilled all in the tire and was down in the "fold" of the sidewall.

when cold would not idle on it's own
upon startup the timing belt warning light came on, and the oil level light stayed on
owner had a TBF shortly after buying car, claims new motor to have about 90K.. body has almost 200K.

finish on rims is delaminating in spots
significant leaks under car, in engine, trans, and diff
deep fluid in valley behind water bridge, looked like oil, but could not tell.

had rmb, drove OK, WOT not working, mucho droning at highway speed

paint job is a 20 footer that I was told was done by high school autoshop class

front bumper is cracked and has black duct tape covering the damage

corner pieces missing from rear window trim

bad window gaskets on drivers side.

I was pissed that i made the 12 hour round trip drive for this car.....

Don't know if it would be worth current asking price

I guess that would explain the non-sale... thanks Steven

That interior shot looks like the car sat under water for a year.

Wait.. its a no-sunroof car which comes with FREE TOOLS and has had rustproofing treatment in the battery box?

Oh wait.. they're probably SAE, not metric..

Amazing how pictures can hide the truth! In the ad it looks like an OK car.

I think Dan Glerb was joking.
