Just got back from checking it out. It looks like it was rode hard and put up wet for two years outdoors. Paint was pretty faded from sitting out for 2 years. Interior was pretty rough. Sunroof was broke. Steady light white smoke at idle. Hood latch frozen. Was only able to drive it in the storage facility property b/c no plates or ins. Body didnt look too bad. Probably a 1000 dollar car.
It was a 100 mile round trip, but I am glad I got this one out of my system and my 12 year old daughter rode along and we were able to s
pend some quality time together. Thanks for your input guys. Jim Oh and the windshield was cracked

Yep..........and none of that could be ascertained from the photos.

A classic example of why any advice from the forum cannot be relied upon...........you must see the vehicle in person.
