"Fluids checked regularly" On the ground after you pull away?

It's probably in mechanically fine shape and no rust!

"300,000 miles with at least another couple thousand to go"

Insurance companies call cars like that a "driveable total loss"

The advertisement doesn't say what model year the car is, but all things considered, it doesn't matter, really.

The really good thing about driving a car like that is that "NO ONE" will EVER dare argue over the right of way when you come barrelling along in a car like that

It's a very liberating feeling to drive one of those.

No wonder they were checking the fluids.

What a POS. Be interesting to call and talk to the guy. I'd like to know where the dents in the drivers door were acquired.

Cheers,

rofl, I guess it would be 000 "Primer"


With an exterior like that, I bet the interior is gorgeous. Hey, you can't judge a book by its cover..........

but in this case, I think we can take a few hints.

If you had to, then do it like they do in Peru. Just use house paint. (really, that is what they use down there!!!!)

Applied with a very large paintbrush, broadside on.

That thing makes my SD look mint!


$900? Its ready for the junk yard.

At least they are honest, I'm sure it hasn't seen an oil change in a long, long time. But its probably ok because it leaks and burns so much.

You know, that reminds me of days long ago, back in my teen years, I drove by this house near mine regularly, and this nice looking young girl lived there that drove a white Karmann Ghia. All the car looked like it really needed was a decent buff job to shine it up. One day as I was passing by I saw her out in the driveway, paint tray sitting behind the car and a roller in her hand, I though, "Nah, she wouldn't..." Next day, I was again passing by and there was this red Karmann Ghia sitting in the drive, complete with roller texturing....lmao
This car, it reminds me of the typical San Jose/Newark/Sunol area commuter beast out on the freeway, man those guys are vicious! I was on a job site out there once back in my A/C days, every time it rained I couldn't believe how many folks were off in the dirt, we watched an old peugeot once try to do a fast merge, spin out and clobber the center burm wall, smeared the front, he cranked it 5 minutes or so, got it fired, and backed up then drove off like nothing happened, front bumper dragging and sending sparks everywhere...I couldn't believe it...Nobody else even seemed to have a second thought about it out there...

I did that years ago with a 1936 Ford. When I brought it home, it was about 10 different colors of primer and paint. My landlord, who lived next door made a few comments about it so I went to K Mart and bought a gallon of black exterior house paint and had at it. Shut the landlord up and didn't look 1/2 bad from a distance. A few years later when I sold it, I followed the towtruck up the road and watched as sheets of paint peeled off.

You're right Jim B. I'd park in the closest non-handicapped spot if I had that car. Reminds me of Uncle Buck's car. Hilarious.

If that thing is worth $900, my 83 300SD with 215K is worth at least $9500, anyone interested?

How about a bumper sticker "Look out for falling parts"

Or "Watch your oil pan"
