Beige color.

I had no intention of selling this car but it developed a transmission problem on the way down from Portland. It will not always go into 4th gear (the top gear for this car). So the tachometer gets way too high at about 50 mph. To fix it, I had to pull over, reverse, and start again. No fun. The transmission fluid is clean and full so my sources tell me its probably the solenoid that runs the hydraulic gear change is shot. Unfortunately, that means parts and labor I can't afford.

- Automatic sunroof works
- Cassette stereo works
- About 177K miles. Body and interior decent.
- Oil changed every 3K miles
- never crashed

- Right rear window switch is broken
- Auto seats work but need new fuse
-Full Leather in good shape except for one tear on back seat

Call Patrick 503-806-3770 with an offer!

Not mine. My only interest is curiosity if it really is a Euro. Could just as well be a scam.

It looks like a Euro from the pictures.

"Seats work but need a fuse" is dumber than "AC needs a charge." The seller can't be bothered to replace a fuse to shorten the minuses list???

he might mean a "relay", which is a wee bit more dollars? but no, he's not doing himself any favors.

He's asking for peanuts, i don't think that he's interested in putting any effort into it but he has certainly priced it right.

Cool car. For a project car, the $750 asking price sounds pretty good.
