Ok I picked this thing up for my daughter and she has issues with the manual trans. Te car is in very good shape and only needs tires and a little sheetmetal work.
200 on the clock, 2.3l and runs great.
I have $600 in the car.
Surly somebody can use a tank.
Thinking of using it for the 24hours of lemons

I have an even better plan if I keep it. A set of Co-Op spurgrip tires, and whamo, instant snowmobile.

Does this count as another one your daughter "droved" Is this # 3 or #4 for her (this year)? Good thing U-gus didn't have more kids you'd never be a ble to retire!

So true. The Volvo 240's and the M-B W123 240/300 Diesels are will be what _____ finds 10,000 years from now.

Plus I think they can both survive an EMP, so you know if Goldeneye ever happens in the US, you can keep driving.

Good luck with the sale Rick!

No the sheet metal work I refered to is refering to the couple of small holes in the floor pan. A license plate and some poprivits will cure it.
The daughter is holding at a 2 count.

If she has trouble with the 5 speed, maybe she'll never get it going fast enough to wreck it.

Actually it should be a 4spd w/push button overdrive. Is it a 2 or a 4 door and do you have any pictures?
