- Yes, it's time to sell the WonderCar[tm]...
-
- Back in '87, I purchased the WonderCar from two MIT gradual students
- who were moving west. It has been a wonderful vehicle, and though it
- is humble compared to my new Accord, it has served well, and I have
- maintained it with care. And so as it comes time to part with it I do
- so with a bit of sadness.
-
- Perhaps some student couple will buy it so that it can spend its final
- years among two friends and a cat... Maybe a small non-profit will
- buy it for transportation to rallies... perchance a cyclist will
- decide a heater would do some good this winter...
-
- Anyway...
-
- It is a White 1985 Ford Escort, 5 speed manual transmission.
- It has travelled 82,500 miles, much of that highway.
-
- It has just had a brake system overhaul, and within the last year I
- have replaced the starter, muffler+pipe, and done various small fixes.
- I have changed the oil every 3000 miles or sooner.
-
- The heater and AM/FM radio work well. It is a front-wheel drive car
- with a manual transmission, so it gets good traction in snow. The
- tires have a good year or more left on them.
-
- It passed inspection easily in June, even before the fixes I have done
- to prepare it for sale.
-
- The body has a few dings and small dents, but very little rust. The
- battery is also relatively new, with 36 months of warranty left.
-
- This car is solid basic transportation; Nothing fancy, but good
- payload capacity for a car this size.
-
- For a serious buyer I am willing to drive the car to your mechanic for
- a pre-sale inspection. I also have fairly complete service records.
-
- I would like to get $1325 for this car.
-
- If you are interested, please call me, Marty at 354-8550. We have a
- machine, so feel free to leave a message and I will call you back.
