'88 bII eddie bauer edition

I'm posting this here for the traffic. I can't put it in the classifieds as it isn't mine, and i can't put it in the ebay/craigslist forum as it's not on either.

I've driven past this more times than i can count. Today I finally decided to give the owner a call.

its got the usual illinois body rot, right now there's no battery in her but the owner said she had it running yesterday. she also claims it has a flywheel issue, but being an auto i'm guessing that means flexplate and/or torque converter issues. I would be interested in it myself but she's had an offer for $800 and if i understood her correctly the buyer wants to take it to the scrap yard.

the owner says the motor has 90k on it and the tranny has 6k (i think) the passenger door does not open and the rear hatch doesn't latch on the drivers side. the interior is incredible aside from a 1" cut in the headliner.

she'd rather see someone fix it up and drive it or turn it into a toy than see it go to the scrapper. I told her i wasn't willing to pay the $800 myself but that if she didn't mind i would post it up on here for her. so here it is.

Some crust on it. I would really look it over and under (frame). Offer $300.

I don't think $800 is far out of line for one with that few miles. See it has the common paint pealing problem with those years and that color.

Thats about what i was willing to offer her. When she said she already had an offer for $800 from someone that wants to scrap it i told her i could help find her a better buyer.

The guy who is gonna pay $800 to scrap it is a moron.

It ain't worth $800 in scrap.

^ I thought the same thing...

Hopefully someone will pick it up and take care of it. Are you willing to buy it? Why not offer 500 bucks there, cash.

I already have a money pit. No need for another...
