Notice that the E-Bay seller in Baltimore is selling it with "no reserve" and in as-is condition. Basically they're telling you that the car has problems. I think the "we have no key" statement is just their way of saying "the drivetrain is shot, so don't expect to drive it away." The condition of the interior says a lot about what kind of maintenence history the car had. If you're still interested in this car, don't bid more than you think you'd be able to get back from parting it out.

A used 2.3-16 suffers the most from lack of maintenance, which this car seems to be a victim. At this age, the rubber suspension, motor mounts, subframe mount and other pieces, like the serpentine belt and timing chain tensioner are probably due for replacement. The SLS rear suspension can be a high cost maintenance item.

The 2.3-16 at this age probably gets MPG in the low to mid 20's.
