Respondent comments, "
The car has
reached the end of its normal service life based on just nor[m]al routine
maintenance. I expect that significant expenditures will be required to
lengthen its lifespan. Probably some rust repair, some suspension bushings,
and overhaul the engine (probably new rings to resolve oil usage and
compression issues). Leather seats are worn but still not torn. Overall
shape is still good and will be worth it for someone to put the money in
repairs, but it will not be me." |

Respondent's comments:
Bought it new. This is a convertible
with an automatic top. As the old girl gets older, I have to "help" the auto
top (stop, tuck, fold, etc). Lower marks for this. |
| 3 Respondent's comments:
I have just sold the car to a young lady who is planning a "banger
race" across Europe. Come on girl! |
