Description

I have had this car for 3 years and when I purchased it I was told it was a oneowner car. The car is in great shape as onewould expect from a 54k mile car and runs extremely smooth. All gauges and instruments work including the clock and I also had all the instrument lights replaced. The heater works perfectly and I had the AC serviced this Summer (Ibelieve they had to replenish the freon) and it was working fine but I am unable to to check itcurrentlywhen its cold outside. Last time I used the soft top was 2 Summers ago and it was in very good original shape. Paint and chrome seems flawless. The interiors are in fantastic shape - no rips, ears or anything like that.
I will list below what Iknow to be the shortcomings-
1) The radio is the original Becker which works fine however there are 2 interconnected issues- Theantenna up/downbuttondoesn't work and the antennaautomatically rises when the car is turned on. Also the driver side speaker seems to be out. Mymechanic told me its all the same issue stemming from a glitch in the radio wiring and since mostpeople wantto replace the radio and speakers I have not bothered addressing it.2) There are three switches that the original owner had installed (look at the pictures) and nobody seems to know why. Maybe for abat-phone.3) There are very light scratch marks right behind the hard top (look at the pictures) from bumbling the removal & installation of the hardtop.4) There are supposed to be 2 tools to tighten the bolts for the hard and soft-top and I am missing one. One tool is sufficient for the operation and you can alwayspurchase the other.5) There is a 1/4 to 1/2 inch crack at the end of one of the vents on top of the dash (picture) and some of the driver door seal trim (picture) seems a little frayed6) There is a hairline crack at the base of the tail-light (picture).
I have the hard top stand and a bunch of manuals (picture).
I am selling because I am moving by the end of Jan and Idon't have the room to store this car at my new place. I am not anexperiencedeBay user so my preference is for a cashier check payment and for the buyer to check out the car, est it and take it away. From what I have seen, nbsp;my 'buy it now' is reasonable and I reserve the right to sell it prior to the end of theeBay auction.
