There is nothing wrong with that car that a small federal bailout program could not quickly rectify. Where can I apply before bidding?

Seriously though someone out there may hopefully find it a good parts car for his needs.

At least the vendor did not hype it up as is typically seen on too many ebay adds. Three hundred will not meet the reserve apparently. Except for the distance the rust free status is hard to get in my neck of the woods.

Thanks, I need all the help I can get.

What really sucks is I had another ad that was even better than this
one, written up on ebay, only too find out I got booted before I could
post it..............and I lost it.
This one was actually written while I was pissed about losing the first one.

If anyone here is interested, I currently have the reserve @ $600.

I know, a bit optimistic.......

I found out today that an SLS resevoir is $460 OEM (mine has holes). So $600 for a parts car is not a bad idea...

Then I noticed that MB put the SLS resevoir on the wrong side of the vehicle in 1985. shoooot.....
