'87 300E - $500 Norfolk VA

I'm going to let this go...it drives very well but the problems are mounting and I'm not too interested in getting into anything expensive. Engine and transmission are strong (I worked with the previous owner and he changed out the transmission in the last 20K miles or so - cost him $4K).

Issues/not working:
Climate control blower (fuse # 7 keeps blowing)
AC
Sunroof
Driver's window won't go all the way up
Passenger side rear window switch on console (switch on door works)
CD (Elvis) stuck in player but radio works well
Antenna stuck in half up position
Aux water pump disconnected
Aux cooling fan disconnected
Clear coat peeling badly
Uses 2 quarts of oil/1000 miles (no smoking or drips)
Slight oil leak around timing chain cover

The Interior is pretty nice except for sun damage to the rear headrests and top of the back seat
tires (Michelin) OK but fronts will probably need replacing for next inspection (currently inspection till Sept '08)

Going to put it on Craigs List for $750 but if anyone on here wants it, then $500 will take it...

Do you know the specifics of the transmission rebuild?

With an Elvis CD stuck in the player this should go pretty fast.
