My question is, how much rust is throughout. You can clearly see some in the drivers door in the picture alone, and the pics are rather small :) Is the engine and transmission strong only for the car to disintegrate beneath it? On 1/26/06, Sunil Hari [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

It's definitely in driving condition. This whack-job initially wanted $2400 for this car, but since he had no takers (and a pregnant girlfriend) I think he really needs to sell it now. I offered $300 last month and he didn't bite. He might bite on $500 now. To warn you, I think this car needs

I wouldn't bet on that. I have driven for probably 10 years or more at a stretch without having a plugged filter. As long as fuel prices are stable. I had a filter plug after a bad load of fuel in 1988, and then didn't have a problem until 99 or so. I have had 3 plugged filters in the last
