OK

Here is the kicker; at 105,000 mi

If it was just 1200 or 1700 to bring this nice lookin TE back to decent shape, that would be alot simpler;

but, the real problem on deciding on what to do an d how much to invest in what we do is that for the first time we got to see her up on a lift and thanks to the car comng from LI, NY the undercarraige rust is lethal.

All the brake lines & metal fuel line are caoted in rust. The suspension is rusted, where the car can't even be alligned.


So the decision is not to fix & keep the car; It is whether to fix it at all, prior to listing it on EBay as a parts car with full disclosure ; trading it in for a grand at a dealer;

or to fix it and get it running, and then list it as a running car with disclosure of the rust issues.

It is a shame that the body & the interior; seats & dash are all really nice....

SO if we put 1200 into it- we can offer it at 2,500 as a starting bid-

or if we don't fix it - start it at 1,000.


???any ideas??
