58,000 miles.

It's a non-runner for 10 years. He says he has title, doesn't care if it isn't an "S4" and gets all twitchy and vulgar if you offer low based on the fact that it hasn't run in over 10 years.

Link and topic don't relate.

Pete wants $9,500 for it parked for 10 years "needs fuel tank cleaned needs battery" and interior 1/4 panels are bad.... sitting on dead tires But it does have S-4 rear wheels !! And the paint needs buffed and waxed per Pete and no I did not call him.

Hey, I'm sure it ran when he parked it.

James Bailey

Why would you assume that ???? Plus he is not the one who "parked" it... just the one who found it.

Lipstick full red int over black. It's quite possible that it does just need fluids, fuel pump and lines, battery, and some minor elec work. These cars store pretty well if inside. Of course, $9500 is still kind of silly unless you really, really want an 86.5 black and red car.

Lol James that was sarcasm. I needed a roll eyes emoticon or something. That's just what every ad says about non-runners, I never actually believe it. Sort of like "The AC just needs a charge."

James Bailey

Yes there is an entire " language" used on car adds....

linderpat

the add should be updated to say the odo stopped at 58K miles. Sorry, that's no low miles car. And it may be a flood car. Lot's of corrosion and mold in that engine bay.

The engine looks ratty, but I thought it might just be 10 years in a damp climate. re Low Miles, there are two others with more, like over 100,000 on ebay now, that also make that claim, so although I may agree with you Ed, that's the least of this guy's education that is going to be difficult for him to accept. He kept pressing me to make an offer and I suggested I thought he should wait to see what offers he gets and let the ad run out, then we would talk. He didn't want to hear anything else. So I made an offer and he suggested I do something [XXX] and I said, "Well, you got that goin' for ya" and hung up.

"found" implies to me "it fell into my lap and this is found money" but his reaction suggests something else, like he has something invested in it and is going to take a dump if he doesn't make his nut.

I don't like the color combo....those seats are too red for my taste. I'm with Ed on the odo as well....that car looks like she has seen a bit more pavement, and those tires are dry rotted....I don't like the wheels either, but I'm partial to the phone dials....oh well, someone will buy it eventually, hope the poor girl finds a new, loving home.

Mine has mold everywhere and it happened while parked for five years in my heated shop. It truly did run when parked.

Wisconsin Joe

Everything gets moldy in Florida.

And if you look closely, the trip odo shows some miles.
That's an almost certainty that the odo worked when it was parked.

Nobody (and I mean nobody) can resist the temptation to hit the trip odo reset to see if it does anything when the main odo stops.

But if the guy thinks he can get that much for one that hasn't run in 10 years (can anyone say "Acidic Coolant"?), then he's delusional.

What could possibly go wrong...

Did the guy mention it has a Salvage title history? I suggest run quickly and don't look back.
