    Default 1988 Mercury Tracer 462,000 MILES!! Gorgeous**

    Believe it. Me and my buddy picked this car up from the original owner last week. The original owner bought it in Jan. 1988. The car has 462,xxx miles on it currently. I have been driving it around since we got it and it drives amazingly. EVERYTHING works in the car. (Power steering, AC, Heat, Cruise control, power windows, all lights etc). I dont know for sure but if I had to guess this car gets around 30mpg. There are 2 minor flaws on the car other than that its amazing condition for years and miles. (Some rust on quater panel, and little dent on fender than can probly be popped out). Someone needs to come and DD this beast and get this baby to 1,000,000 miles, i just dont have the time, then you could possibly sell it back to mercury

    Feel free to call me at 404-518-9494 if you are interested and want to see it. No joy rides in this beauty unless you are serious..

    I worded it wrong. Not trying to mislead anyone here. The car has had one owner for 462,xxx miles and we bought it from the auction. You can run the carfax and check that yourself. Between the original owner and my possesion it has been driven 12x miles or so.

    Thanks

    Repped back and I think his story is straight.

    Him and his buddy hopped in a car went to the auction where the original owner was at. Car went through the auction and dude made the best offer. And now we are here.

    Thats 2 different stories.. The dealer tag don't really help the opening statement either.. I am not here to hate. I am just stating the facts. I know I flip shit on here from time to time.

    Like I said, most likely the original owner was at the auction and had the car go through with the bidding. Sl33per was the higher bidder, therefore making him the next owner in line, therefore him purchasing the car from the original owner, therefore making HIM the new owner.

    NEXT.

    Yes I bought the auction. Yes I work at a lot. Yes I am the second owner. Don't post in my thread if you don't want this jewel. I personally own this car, so this has nothing to do with where I work.

    This car is my DD until someone buys it. It runs like a dream.

    Nice NRA sticker!!!

    I can't believe how many miles this car has!! I didn't think American cars ever got over 100k miles or even had enough digits in the mileage counter to get to xxx,xxx..

    lol

    Good luck, really cool!!

    Damm. Honestly, you monkeys will find a way to argue about someone doing anything on this forum. If the original owner ran the car through the auction and he bought it, his story is 100% accurate.

    If you don't like his price, take your happy ass somewhere else. You'd be calling all sorts of bullshit is someone came and took a dump in one of your threads so some GTFO is in order here.

    who gives a fuck. If I could get a running car in good shape for $1,000 id buy it too. I normally wouldnt get caught dead in this thing.

    But coming from a guy with a purple suburban, im not so sure your opinion matters

    haha actually man, thats coming from someone whose worked at a trucklot for 3 years, and done private auto sales for 3 years. also from someone who barely misses a tuesday or thursday at the auctions. i know what sells and what doesnt... hence why i have as many vehicles as i do.

    and your only making ~$300 on your auto sales? ahah. Remember the 86 crown vic i sold on here? yeah i picked that thing up for $300 dollars from the original owner and sold it for $2700. if theres not more than $1500 in profit avaliable i dont fuck with it.

    you are a douche bag, just so you know.

    also the purple suburban sold... for double of what i had into the vehicle i traded for it. kinda surprised i really let it go

    Im talking about for personal use. Im not talking about for a used car lot. I work at a used car lot, I know what sells and I know what shit goes for. This car wouldnt step foot on our lot. I didnt buy it to make money, I bought it because it was very funny and very rare to see a car with this mileage and to be in the condition it is in. Im also at the auctions every week, Not sure what point you were trying to prove above. This car is not a money maker, I dont have to flip cars to make money on the side. Its actually hilarious and it will sell, you'd be suprised how many PMs ive actually gotten
