I like that, "nice car ready to go"? Where do these people come from.

Damn, you guys have got picky over the years, probably due to "lesson learned", hahhaha. Looks like a non-sunroof model. Wish it was local, that ad would be down.

Don't most people here pay $1000 for that brake set up alone? With some hours invested, someone could buy it for the brake/hub swap, change over any other bits that may be better on this car, and then resell this car in this spring. If most people here with decent drivers take a hard look at their car, there are many little thing that are probably needed that all add up. Maybe this car has better tailights, a few interior bits, and as we can all see it still has the collapsible spare.

Come on guys, what do you want for under a $K? It's a steal if it really runs and drives.
Heck, the green circled item alone says you should be able to get a K worth of parts off of it.

Hell, I'd buy it myself if it weren't red. .

If they popped open the hood and showed the condition of the engine, I think we would all run.

Priced appropriately. Nothing wrong with a car that runs and drives for < $1k. Of course, it follows the JB postulate as all old fixers do ($10k away...)
