junk '84 dirt cheap from sketchy ebayer

This guy has some terrible feedback, and if you look at his last review he really pissed someone off who won this car for $400(and obviously didn't want it), but, just maybe, there is something of value to a forum member here near Kingman, bid is at $2! Be careful!

For God's sake.

This is why cars should not be bought off of ebay.

I will say this, if a car is sold as-is, then it is as it sits; AS-IS! The person who puts the final bid at the end of the auction should already be aware of the consequences that he/she might face.

If you want something nice, go over to see it, drive it, then make a REASONABLE offer.

I'll tell you though, it seems to be a different WORLD south of New York. People are so much friendlier I feel like I have entered the twilight zone. I don't know how to deal with too much kindness.

Sorry for my off-topic rant. But I would not buy from this guy UNLESS I saw the car for myself... THEN I might surrender as much as $5 for that car. I know, I know...Too generous.

I think an animal lived inside that POS. I think the auction is for how much the seller will pay YOU to take that THING.

Those were the US-spec 190 headlights through 85. The useless flush headlights cam in 86.

Looks like he kept a rabid pet badger inside against its will.

God if thats any indication of how well it was taken care of I would consider it for scrap value, and anything better shape is a windfall.
