MUST PICK UP / TOW FROM YUCAIPA CA 92399
Interior is above average for the age! Seats were covered for years, so I removed the seat covers and the seats literally look stellar with no cracks or excessive signs of wear.
It does run but due to transmission issue, will only drive at low speeds and you should consider this not drive-able so please come with ability to TOW. Although I will assist, it is your responsibility to get this started as it’s been sitting for a year, and it did start at the time it was stored.
Tags are a couple years old. If you are registering this outside of California, you will NOT need to pay anything to California. If you will be registering this in California, you will most likely need to pay about $300 to make tags current (possibly less). You can call DMV to get an exact price for California tags by giving them the VIN. Expect minor issues and normal wear consistent with age but mainly there are some vacuum leaks in the hoses which control door lock system etc. but these are expected with age and a relatively easy fix. The biggest issue is the transmission. Just fix the transmission and install a new battery you should be good to go as far as the major issues. The engine itself is fine and runs as it should.
