1999 Chevy Cavalier, clean title, 208,000 miles, AT, 2.2L I4, $200 firm, or trade for 500 rounds of XM193, or 6 bricks of .22LR 40gr lead ammo, or ????? Westfield.
I will deliver within 20 mile radius of Westfield --- I WILL NOT allow anyone to drive this vehicle away. If you want to haul it on trailer or flatbed, fine.
If you want it tell me now 'cuz it's going to the junkyard this weekend or ASAP.
Was daily driver until last week when I purchased an even older car.
The Good: Runs and Drives. Decent interior, shows age, but no rips or tears in the seats – non smoker. Starts even on cold mornings. Good heat. Good glass. Good Air Bags. Paint is meh/clearcoat flaking badly, but it’s not rusted out anywhere that I know of – but I haven’t really looked. Light hail damage. Replaced engine at 155k, unknown mileage on engine. Due for an oil change.
The Bad: Transmission has started to slip in first. Once it warms up I barely notice. Needs tranny work/replacement. Gas gauge doesn't work - I just refill every 250 miles according to the trip odometer... I have stretched it to 275-280 miles on occasion and I have never run out of gas.
The Ugly: A/C leaks badly, after last summer I quit filling it. The rear brakes are UNSAFE to drive as is… One mechanic tried twice to the tune of $400 to fix the rear brakes but was not able. I tried with my BIL, who is a mechanic and GM mechanical engineer, for the last two years to fix the brakes – everything has been fixed or replaced twice but brakes are still bad. Front brakes and ABS appear to be working fine.
If you are a brake expert and can replace a tranny, then have at it, but it’s probably not worth trying for most people. You need to understand that you must fix the brakes if you want to drive this car.
I will not part out. I will not take less than $200. I would rather scrap it and get the money or donate it to charity and take the tax deduction.
You must show ID, sign Title and Bill of Sale in my presence - i.e. no flippers - I don't want any dead people because of an unscrupulous person wanting to make a quick $50 or $100.
