I would too but as per Jakes comments, I see poorly aligned wipers, nearly flat tire, no lower grill installed, (is the antenna ripped off or just collapsed?) kitchen rust, possibly poorly aligned alternator, (possible bracket issues), dents all over it. Looks like someone's son drove the stuffing out of it and abused it. Ad says shifter is tight. I'd figure it's a standard transmission with that kind of comment. Pic shows automatic. Hmmm.... Do auto shifters get that loose? Anyhow. Ad seems legit though very misleading. "You are viewing one of the finest examples .... " Saw a '90 or '91 in Vancouver CL recently for $2500. Way nicer *looking*. I replied to ad on CL suggesting ad might be scam. Ad is gone.
