Pursuant to my thread about the fail on the yellow truck….found this gem a couple days ago.
65k miles, a bout as clean/new looking and running as any 24 year old car can be unless it was literally mothballed since new.
Never cared much for them back in the day, but now they’re almost “classic”. However, the real reason it got bought is for commuter duty. Gas prices can’t seem to control themselves. Especially here. I know the 3800/5speed is a pretty dead reliable combo and the rest of the car is simple. And mostly, 25-30mpg *** or Korean shitboxes with double the miles sell for more than this beauty cost and they’re far more embarrassing to be seen in, lol.
Total base model car. Only option likely is AC. No cruise, no power seats and roll yer own windows and locks.
Love it. Although the newest snackwagon is gonna need a new home here in a month once the older boy heads back to school.
Yes it’s a little saggy on the L side. Sounds and looks like the RF strut is pooched. They do have struts, correct?
Note it’s not as bad as it looks. Driveway slopes that way too in that pic.
