This IS a very decent car! Paint, roof, interior, correct wheels and the driver's seat leather is NOT split. Atlantic Blue over Arlantic Blue with Sand Beige interior & Gold Rims. Reasonable mileage, too.

NOTE:

I will be M.I.A. today as Son needs this computer for his Law Finals.

When he goes out to eat, I may ... MAY get the opportunity to jump on, for a few minutes......Maybe.... is the key word !

I amON now as he is ASLEEP

Decent is about right

Post by svo413 »

The car has some short comings. The missing coil cover has me suspicious along with the hokey battery cable. The undercarriage is pretty rusty looking and that aftermarket exhaust looks like most of it's day are behind it. I don't mean to pick the car apart but I was looking it over pretty closely.

Kevin, did you see pictures I didn't?

Help me out here, the ad said "NO RUST OR ROT, ORIGINAL EVERYTHING"

Nice car.

I think the Blue roof looks better on the Atlantic Blue cars than the Azura Blue cars.

Looks clean to me.

Pics

Post by svo413 »

Yes, I looked over the pics posted on ebay. Just click on the one you want to enlarge and the right mouse click on the large photo and save it as a jpeg. I use windows picture and fax viewer to zoom in. Maybe he is not the original owner. For me, here in CA, all that rust scares me!! Even if it is surface rust. Granted the aftermarket exhaust system is probably the rustyist part on the car including the cheap non-chrome tail pipes. I have an 89 LX and everything seems to be painted underneath.

I sent the seller a few questions and only about half were answered.
Is that an after market exhaust system I see?
Non-original battery cables and missing coil cover? (Positive cable not red and negative with the bolt on end)
The drivers side lower control arm looks to be wet or oily, is the strut leaking?
I see the seat belt sleeves are both broken?
Is that a lighter burn on the console next to the lighter?
Is the alarm dealer installed Ford or aftermarket?
The undercarriage appears to be very rusty for a low mileage car, was it stored outside? Thanks.

Hi, lots of questions, first the car was stored inside, it is 22 years old so i think the undercarraige looks pretty good to me, the battery cables are original, just the rear mufflers are replacements only, the seat belt sleeves are cracked, plastic only. i dont think the strut is leaking. there is no coil cover missing????

Ok, I did end up picking apart the car but only because I was interested in it. I'll have to pass the photos past the wife to see what she says.
