2004 MM Black - Fixer - $3500 OBO

[Aonghus]

Edit - SOLD. Thanks for everyone's interest.

[Spectragod]

Does the car run at all? Will it run and drive enough to load onto a truck or trailer?

[Aonghus]

No. Its probably going to have to be winched onto a trailer ultimately.

What happened when it developed the engine problem or do you know what the problem is exactly?

What happened when it developed the engine problem or do you know what the problem is exactly?

Two separate issues.

First, engine started running rough the summer before. A trip to the dealership said the code indicated that the engine needed new ignition coils and that the work involved would run about $2500 at dealer rates. Their inspection actually cleared up the problem, and it ran well for another year, developed the same problem and idled rough going into the winter. Then the heater stopped working, so I had to let her sit throughout the winter, and in spring would not start, even with charged battery.

I havent had it checked out further since I havent had the cash to fix what I know is wrong with it. It is of course possible more work is necessary to get it running. Whoever is interested is welcome to have somebody they trust check it out in detail.

[Spectragod]

Can you post pictures here?

[Aonghus]

Shouldnt be a problem. How much detail you want?

[Shaijack]

We want the shots that they would not show on TV. Raw and close up.

[Aonghus]

Getting dark today. Ill take and post shots tomorrow.

[Spectragod]

All sides, front & rear, interior, motor. I will need to find a shipper that can take a non running car though.

I live in the same county.. willing to go put a eye ball on this car..I want two of the wheels..

[Aonghus]

Okay, one more try... Friggin forum logged me out.....GRRR. I cant seem to get the photos to post in the thread, so a link to a slideshow is below. Apologies for the image quality, all I had available today was my phone. I was wrong about the mileage, its 123k.

Outside shots. Super dirty. Shes been sitting out for over a year. Lines in dirt are from neighbor kids touching the car when it rains. External issues include broken front left fog lamp, crack in windshield, a few paint chips from back bumper cover and a few minor door dings. Interior issues include wear spot in drivers side carpet and inside of console box separated from outside of console box, coin holder broken.

Jeez, if you were closer to Maine I'd give you cash right now. Too bad, but this should sell fast.

[Spectragod]

Worth the asking price if your local to it. 2k+ to ship this car to Ohio. And.... if the OP accepts my offer, it will be mine.

It sounds like it needs new coils and a HVAC control. Are new coils that expensive, $2500 for new coils sounds a bit much.

The HVAC is only a couple of hundred ...

Maybe I missing something here.

[lji372]

if it were closer-transporting is the issue.......GLWS
hopefully someone revives it. that would be AWESOME!!!

If the car overheated..... it can be a major issue. Without seeing it in person and doing some kind of diagnosis, it is a roll of the dice. I figured the worst, pull the heads and go from there, if it indeed won't run.

[Hadamustang1]

this car is on the local craigslist as well..

[Vortech347]

$2500 for coils? These must be the new nuclear ones I heard about.

[F2F]

Is this car sold. Ill take it! If the body and interior is good ill take it. Ill take it. Did I say ill take it?

[F2F]

did this thing sell?

[Aonghus]

Lots of interest, a couple offers, but as yet there has not been a deal made, though that may change today.

That quote was them basically boning me for lots of dealer labor :)

My offer is still good............

[F2F]

We were in. Problem is that it would cost pretty close to a grand to get back here. Great deal at 3500. 4500 not so much.

$2300 to get it to Ohio. I'm still in the game with my offer.

In the voice of your wife DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT :D

Yeah, I can hear voice now. Thanks for that.:rolleyes:

[Aonghus]

Still available, but could go at any time, like 3 people coming out today... If you are close and don't have to eat $1000+ in shipping costs, now is the time to step up :)

[Aonghus]

Sold to local car buff and all around good dude, Phoneguy. He hopes to have her back to life in a couple of weeks.

Congrats and sorry you lost your car at the same time :(

Dont tell anybody, but I actually misted up a little bit when it was loaded on the tow truck. Almost as bad as having to put my dog down...

The good news is, shes in good hands, and will be well taken care of :)

[lji372]

Completely understandable. I once wrecked my 80 toronado when I was 19 or 20 and cried like a baby, I was so pissed at myself for what I did to my baby. Used to wax that sucker weekly.......

[Curless]

Glad to hear a good car guy has her now, hope to see her back on the streets soon. Hopefully he will post up pre op and post op photos!
