One owner, 1983, highish mileage (just broken in!!!) at 290,000, and a buy it now of $7500, which seems mighty high to me. Looks decent in pictures, on the other hand they claim 35mpg, which can't be correct.

If anyone's interested there are a couple of us in the area.

Welcome back Webwench! Had not heard from you in a while.

He's not smoking anything yet. He is quite smart to put a high "buy it now" price. This gets everybody thinking that this vehicle has some value and that they might get a fantastic deal if they buy it for $5K.

The real question is the reserve price. If the reserve is reasonable, say $4K, he will be the one laughing all the way to the bank if it sells for $4K or above.

Let's see what it does.

Says it has new gas filters. That could be a problem.
