The woman's late husband bought it for her new in 1990. So it's a one-owner car with just under 95,000 miles. All service religiously done at dealer, INCLUDING head gasket this past January. I've got a nice stack of receipts.

Even though the woman stopped driving when she was 90 (14 years ago!), she had a driver who drove her around. Any time it needed anything, off to the dealer it went.

Needs engine mounts and two windows don't work. Otherwise in great shape.

Needless to say, I'm pretty pumped, especially since purchase price was....drum roll, please....$1000.
