I was NOT IMPRESSED with the paint over rust, poor finish on the rear around the bumper, and messed up body putty in the obvious places. I'm not sure how old the paint job is but seam rust is already rearing its ugly head. It did look good from 25 feet away. That's the problem with e-sales, a close personal inspection is almost always needed. It will probably sell because of its relative rarity. I wouldn't drive any 2.1 at his stated speeds, especially not one tat "knocks"... that's just asking for trouble. Sort of makes the rest of the ad suspect. AND I am always leery of any ad starting with info on the sound system. MHO. -- Stephen Chillicothe OH |
