It’s technically drivable but the brakes are not good. My fault, I didn’t change the pads soon enough so now it needs rotors too.
I’ve used it pretty hard: camping, dirt roads, moving, hauling bikes, kids, dogs, firewood, and I drove it through a winter to save the Neon. So it’s definitely not pristine but it’s not far from solid driver status.
Other issues I can think of: the AC is leaking, it stopped holding a charge last summer and the blower motor is dying a slow noisy death. Exhaust leak(s?) The front passenger window is the only one that goes up and down under its own power. Never did get around to dealing with the transmission fluid drip. The washer fluid leaks if filled past a certain point. The interior is decent with the exception of the shredded driver seat. Rust? Yes, definitely in the rear bumper/lower fender area.
GRM price: $1,000ish. No idea of the actual value but that’s what I paid for it.
Officially open to trades. Interesting older things, Ford Escort things, small convertibles, or a decent beater minivan could have a place in the fleet.
Feel free to message me with questions and if a GRMer does want this old car I’ll hold it until it works to set up a real life transaction.
