The car is not safe to drive in it's current condition thus it can't be considered to be in good condition. .If anyone buys it would have to be trailered or towed .

Parked up at my families place waiting for me to do something with it. The car is rusty but with some elbow grease and a little money, the interior can be an 8/10. Was going to swap it all over into mine but I've been entertaining a full race car ideas.
I could use a few things off that blk car, we need to talk.
She'd go to a salvage lot before you. Good day sir.
My things got ugly fast, but your right it shouldn't be driven its hard to sell a car that cant be driven.

That's why it's posted here and not on craigslist, want it to go to an enthusiast who knows what they're doing. It could be troubleshot on the spot or trailored of course, but that doesn't warrant a discount of 2 grand. Could still be driven it just wouldn't be the most comfortable ride. Only concern for safety would be if you don't know how to drive a car ��

You can't drive a slammed air ride car far. I have done it once. You will break things. The price is not too bad, but it will not be very attractive to someone who has to drive far to get it. The gamble is the air ride. could be a few hours of time or a whole bunch of parts. Some of us already have all the parts to fix the air ride others would need to purchase allot. The air ride is not that hard to trouble shoot. You just need a supply of parts to work with.

To each their own, anyone too far that cared enough would bring their own trailer without a 2k discount. I'm negotiable on the price, but that was rather insulting and I'm sure most would agree. As I stated in the OP, the way it's been acting I can't imagine it's anything too serious. A month or so and she goes to the junkyard sadly.

Beerdog, will we get this for me? I'm sure someone would be willing to check it out for us first. Then any usable parts from my car can be used and the rest of mine parted out, which makes me sad, but she's gonna cost more than that to repair to my satisfaction. I still never even got my ghost flames :(

Then send it to the junk yard.

If you got it I'd give you a free spring conversion I got laying around. It's only 3 hours from me.

Sorry to say but that's a $1300 car at best... CE doesn't mean crap, it just means it will sell faster than another normal Mark VIII. It's just an added plus at this condition. If it was mint, then I would be talking in a different tone. GLWS

As I said, kbb gives me 1750 in fair condition, not even factoring in that it is a CE. Also I would consider this car better than fair, maybe not quite good but close. Regardless, we all have to start somewhere and 2500 was my initial asking point. Also as I said, I am negotiable on the price but have yet to receive a serious offer. Thank you for your input however.

Someone get beerdog on this he doesn't speak to me. Eric, thanks, but I don't want a spring conversion, I like my air ride. If Beerdog's willing to consider it, I'd appreciate someone from the area checking her out for me and letting us know if we can fix the air ride at least up there. And can everyone stop talking down the car, please? I don't think anyone can say what a fair offer is until it's been looked at. Truthfully, I'd rather have a base model, I don't know if the CE's drive like the LSC's, but there's something about them I don't like as much as my base model.

Also, I'm not sure what parts of my car I'd want to swap into whatever I get.

Thank you Trixie, I have no issue with anyone checking the car out.

Well, before anyone checks, someone's gotta get beerdog to remember the anniversary present he gave to me and my car (the pimp wheels and pirelli's especially picked by me) and then took for himself. ;) I'm overdue a decent present/car that's actually safe to drive more than 10 miles.

You or Mike can call me if you want me to look at it, I got air parts too.

She picked them and then rejected them after they were driven.
