Hey Folks,
I have my 1993 red Hatchback for sale.
I need to sell my daily to pay for my hospital bills for my hand injury...anyways, here are the specs:

[Mechanical]

The valves are sticking and making little tapping noises, I've checked to see if it was the timing chain and to my conclusion, it was not.
Other than the valves sticking, there are no known mechanical issues.


[Exterior]

I washed the car and detailed the car today and to my demise, i found tiny rock chips on the front bumper that could not be noticed unless examined a few inches from the bumper.
Also, I found a few dings on the passenger side door, one was touched-up by the previous owner. However, there are two and another wasn't and is visible, again if examined closely at.
There is one ding on the front fender where the bumper and the fender meets at the corner, its a little dot and is visible also, as well as one ding on the driver's side door as well.
The paint is immaculate everywhere eles on the car but the front bumper where there are what seems to be microscopic rock chips (might be debris from the road when the car wasn't washed for a long time)
The rear wing is still intact and has not developed any rust on the surrounding areas, however, the paint on the wing is a bit wavy, because the wing is starting to wave on the top (due to old age)




The interior is one of the cleanest I've seen for a 13 year old car.
There are no cracks on the dash, however, there are what seems to be spiderweb cracks on the center radio trim.
The carpet laid on the car is also immaculate, everything is intact and still retain original gray color.
The gray suede seats have no "usual" tear on the driver's side bolster nor the passenger side bolster. However, there is a depression on the passenger side seat where, i suppose, someone heavy sat in it for long time and the cushion depressed. There is also a stain on the passenger side seat, however, nothing un-cleanable with some carpet cleaner.


[History]

To my knowledge, I am the second owner of the car and it has indeed only remained in Duluth, Georgia area it's entire life. I've seen the little stubs that the previous owner left in the glove compartment when he sold the car to me and it showed the car being serviced and such in Georgia. To be exact, Boomershine Nissan in Duluth, GA.


[Tires/Wheel]

The tires on three corners (LF, LR, RR) are all Bridgestone Potenzas.
The other is an economical brand where I assume the previous owner busted a tire.
Because of the one new tire on the RF (passenger side, front) the car shakes when accelerating around 40-50 MPH, but subsides once past that area. My best guess is that it needs an alignment/balance, but I've not been able to drive the car, so it was left unbothered.


[Car]

I've only owned the car for around 3 months and I haven't been able to drive the car around for almost 2 months because of my hand injury, although, my father has been driving it around and he took a trip to New York City about a week ago and had no problems going up and coming back down the 2,000 some miles. Of course, an oil change was performed before he went up and after he came down, at a local lube shop.

The odometer on the car is either broken or a wire is loose inside the guage cluster, I've been meaning to fix it, but with my hand injury, I was helpless to fix the odo.
The odo reads 88,139 exactly as of today, however I've checked the Carfax and that was the mileage on last year's inspection.
I bought the car around the time it needed an inspection and the previous owner drove it est. 7,500 miles annually and with my father driving it up and down New York and around the city, my best guestimate of the mileage would be a thousand or so under 100,000 miles.


VIN # : JN1MS36P6PW301805


im going to keep my asking price at the $3,600 [i]obo. emphasis on the obo meaning "or best offer"
the reserve is same for my ebay auction, pm for link


My E-Mail address is [email protected] ([email protected]) and My phone# is 252-725-0888.
The car is located less than 5 minutes from Discover Mills. [Ex. 108, I-85]Thanks for looking!

I'm not sure about that.. but i doubt its a VLSD bc i know only SE or the hicas models came with it.. (not exact) and my model is base down to the manual windows.

Well the rules say you cant link it, so you either need to post a price, or remove the link.

I dig the car, but those are the rules that someone made and we have to stick to those.

Thanks

Also, EBAY links are not allowed. Later, QD.

babowc
03-03-2006, 10:50 PM
oh.. i posted a price before.. you want me to post what was posted before then?

quickdodgeŽ
03-03-2006, 10:51 PM
Yes. And remove Ebay link. Later, QD.

babowc
03-03-2006, 10:52 PM
i read the seller rules and doesnt state anything about the ebay links.. i can post a price or update what the price is @ ebay.
if thats what you mean by post a price

quickdodgeŽ
03-03-2006, 10:56 PM
As per JULIO:

"ACK OF INFORMATION
This is getting out of hand with people posting links and not taking the time to post correctly. From now on, either post all information about what you are selling and the condition it is in (Pics should be posted also) or else your post will be deleted. If you are not going to take the time to post correctly then I am not going to take the time to ask you to include the information. This also goes fro posting links to Ebay auctions or any other auction. This is a For Sale forum, not an auction site."

We need an asking price. Later, QD.

quickdodgeŽ
03-03-2006, 11:08 PM
Sorry, but you need to set a set price, lolol. As it states, this is NOT an auction, dude. Later, QD.

RutRoe
03-03-2006, 11:08 PM
done.
asking price is posted as you asked.
remains at 3200 obo.
pm me for ebay link. (that is allowed, right?)
ill update as ebay updates

YEah... people can pm you for it.

It's not like we're attacking you, but you are way nicer than most of the people and followed all the other rules.

usually they jsut get delelted....so we were just trying to help.

But good luck with the sale. Car is very clean

RutRoe
03-03-2006, 11:19 PM
If I were you, I'd add on your ebay ad that if the car is purchased locally for your asking price, then the auction will end early.

As long as you state that and are clear about it, no one will have a problem with it. IF you just end it out of the blue and people are bidding a lot, then it will cause some questions.

But just because it's on ebay doesn't mean you have to lose a local sale.

quickdodgeŽ
03-03-2006, 11:21 PM
If I were you, I'd add on your ebay ad that if the car is purchased locally for your asking price, then the auction will end early.



EXACTLY!!! And just put what you'd hope to achieve on here.

I agree with Rut in the way you are handling this. But the way I understand it, you have to put a price on here. You can have an OBO price, but you can't raise it as your auction goes up. It is stated that this isn't an auction, lolol. Later, QD.

babowc
03-03-2006, 11:27 PM
okay. then ill just post the reserve price on there..
and probably would have to post the reserve on ebay as well?
going up, sry about the mistake

03-03-2006, 11:29 PM
No problem, dude. Thanks for working with us. Later, QD.

sorry for the unneeded trouble.
thanks for working with me as well :)

clean car, nice pics... i like the emphasis on the coolant reservoir... just moved out here from cali and found out that my 240 wont pass salvage inspection soooo... im lookin for another 240 of the same color but your asking price is purdy high. good luck with the sale.

babowc
03-03-2006, 11:39 PM
*edited*
needless to say price went up by 400.
main reason is the ebay auction.
sorry folks

B18c-rex
03-04-2006, 05:15 PM
Im interested .... will leave you a pm on it

RutRoe
03-04-2006, 05:21 PM
Well, your call. But I've never bought any car after the price went up...and I've had at least 34 cars that I can remember... so it's your call.

Plus, it is a lot of money when you think about it, especially with an odometer issue. 3200 is fine and you should be able to get that... its a good car. But the more you go up, the less buyers you have and the less people will take your seriously for changing the price.

Just some advice.. I'll delete a bunch of our posts later and clean the thread up...

babowc
03-05-2006, 12:39 AM
