Answers to my questions (it's not as long as it looks):

Owners:
Three owners, me , my father and a gentleman that works across the street.

How long owned:
5 years

How long ago trap oxidizer replaced:
2.5 years ago

Why so recently and not awhile ago:
Notice lack of acceleration, took to dealer, they replaced.

Does everything work, like power windows, lock, cruise, etc?
Yes, all controls work

Rust?
No rust

Original miles?
Showing 72k but the car has somewhere between 100 and 120k

Service records?
All service was done in house by the owners

Is that green anitfreeze I see?
Antifreeze that is in the car is labeled by the dealer as a usable replacement.

Why did you convert to R134?
New government regulation said you have to use the R134 now. I had it serviced, cleaned and the dryers replaced, it works quite nice.

What "big" items have been fixed or replaced?
Nothing of any "big'ness" has ever been replaced, the car runs like a top, so there is not reason.

How often do you change the oil, does it burn much/any between changes?
I change 3k and 5k, no it doesn't burn any oil between.

How does it drive?
Like it is on rails. Could use an alignment, it pulls slightly to the right, but nothing serious.

Why are you selling it?
It is a second car for me that I don't use. Well it was a second car for everyone who has owned it. Now I got married and my wife has a car so I just don't need this one.



Since "nothing" has really been replaced, would that mean I'd be doing it all? I think $5k may be a little too much. Torn seat, stained carpets, crack in dash, no records, but supposed low miles.
