Stumbled across this one. Maybe someone needs it worse than I do...

Any masochists out there? Well here is one for you. Not sure what the deal is with the wrong hood color. I don't know the car or owner and I am 300km away from it!

If the fuel pump needs done, then I'd check the sub-frame particularly at the rear sub-frame to frame mounts for corrosion and cracks that affect P80 AWD in our area. Subframe has to be dropped to do the fuel pump or hole cut in rear floor on RHS.

Here is another interesting car for sale. Strangest part of the ad is there in no information on the engine output after all the work. The big plus is the manual transmission. Again note I don't know the owner or car personally:

And the price? A mere $9000 CDN! (or offers.....!).

Conditionally sold? Does that mean as soon as he finds someone with $9000 (doesn't even matter if its USD or CAD)

[scot850]

I guess so. I wish them well if they got even close to the $9000, but have to question the sanity of the buyer?! Either way I wish the buyer well and luck with the car.

Provisionally sold typically it either depends on the buyer turning up with the money or the buyer wants an inspection completed first. Our insurance companies are getting tighter as we have no inspections here other than for specific reason like a vehicle moving across provincial boundaries to a new owner (an attempt to reduce stolen vehicles being moved around) or vehicles coming in from other countries. My current insurance company requires inspections for vehicles over 12 years old. No emissions inspection but a fairly comprehensive mechanical inspection.

Black wheels = kid owned = thrashed.

Sorry, but it's true. There are exceptions. If you're an exception, please forgive my blanket statement.

Also, I hope that remote start has a gear lockout. Just imagine the car unseen from the house, parked on the street, and accidentally in 1st.

Cosmetically ok, needs plastic trim on front bumper, front seat leather, modest dent on the left rear.
Goshen Indiana, 10 miles from me.

There's also a '92 240 in very good overall condition for the age not far away in Knox IN. I bet that sells.

I just have to say that I'm always shocked by the sorry state of leather seats in even "newer" cars for sale.
Maybe they just don't look well on photos?
