Description

I bought this car in 1995 with about 66,000 miles on it & have not driven it in the Illinois winters since. It's been kept in a heated, smoke-free garage. I don't smoke. It is truly rust-free. The car has been well-maintained, runs & drives excellently. Has had tires, brakes, Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks, timing chain, coolant hoses, upper & lower intake manifoldgaskets, rear main seal (it still seeps),subframe &A frame bushings. The digital dash, auto headlights, headlight doors, sunroof, digital 'VIC' heater & radio controls all work. Wheels are excellent with new center caps. Hood insulator was replaced. Tilt wheel, 14-way power front seats all work exc the thigh adjuster on Pass seat. Headliner is new, Aftermarket sunroof has been recently adjusted. The VIC display was an option which is a touch-screen control for the heater, radio, speaker balance & equalizer, compass, engine numerical gauges (the main dash cluster have gauges that read ‘Low / High’), Fuel economy, ETA, fuel range, calendar events.The steering wheel controls all work with Temp up/down, Fan up/down, vent mode, AM/FM, volume up/down & radio presets.All of those controls are also on the VIC display. Both sun visors have vanity mirrors and lighting with ‘bright/dim’ switch which work. Rear view mirror has 2 levels of auto-darkening, or ‘off’ mode. Cruise control works, Intermittent wipers work. The front seat thigh panels are split pretty bad, the rest of the seat condition is aged but decent. The carpeting is really nice as is the console & center armrest.The dash pad is nice & other interior panels are nice. The carpet in the rear package area has a bad spot, not a stain, just a piece of missing carpet about the size of a silver dollar – like a chemical burn. It was like that when I got it. Rear ride level adjust works with the air in the rear shocks, and rear suspension is a transverse fiberglass leaf spring. Front suspension is standard Macpherson Strut. Great 80's GM styling shows with the interior detail & external body style. I often get asked 'What is it?'. The Trofeo added a blacked-out grille & taillight & ground effects. FE3 suspension ads larger sway bars – the car handles great, it’s a ton of fun to drive. I have a new ‘FE3’ emblem that goes with the car.Ask any questions you have, I’m an ASE certified mechanic, and always thought I would keep this car forever, and I maintained it that way.I then fell in love with another car & have to let this one go.
