Buyer beware !!! E-Bay auction # 1872942197

[Andrew Micali]

Vehicle needs the following...

Steering rack- leaks about 8 oz per 10 miles, pump and all hoses
recently replaced.

Multi-function switch- head lamps work on high beam only.

Vehicle suffered cooling fan seizure at 170,000 mile and associated
wiring harness meltdown, was repaired but unknown wiring fault results
in battery discharge in about 3 days.

AC functions only thru defroster vents.

Engine and clutch strong, interior in excellent condition.

Rear passenger compartment floor floods when driven in rain.

No radio.

After-run cooling fan and pump not functioning.

Tires are Bridgestone RE-71's, front tires DOA, rears about 50%.

Emergency brake cables removed from vehicle when calipers were replaced
3 years ago.

This was a great car, serving me well for 5 years. Unfortunately, I was
unable to keep up with the repairs...the mechanic our family used for 20
years closed his business, and several attempts at other shops were a
disaster. I doubt that the e-bay seller made all the fixes, but this is
just my opinion.

Hope this helps.
