Opinion on 2003 S w 192k

Why would anyone want to be seen driving this heap? Okay this ahole says it is in good shape and drives well? Does he know what a clean car looks like? He's selling a car and doesn't even bother to wash it before taking pictures? Wash your friggin car dumass.

I guarantee this is a POS. Not cause it is high mileage but because it has not been looked after. Ugly exterior and interior equates to really ugly inside the engine, tranny and suspension in my experience. Makes me sick to see a car in this condition. It's like an abused child.

Three words of advise. Pass, pass, pass. Or tell him you'll accept $5,000 to take it off his hands cause that is what you'll need to put into it to make it even remotely acceptable.


PS Nice wheels.

I suppose it's more a matter of who you are, what you want, and what you are capable of. I often see potential where others see junk.

I agree the car in question is a great candidate for you since you are capable of transforming a heap of junk into a great car since you have done it many times. However for the average Joe who just wants to hop in and tool around this thing will be a disappointment. It will need a lot of work And $$$ to make it presentable And that isn’t even knowing what lurks within.

It's amazing how many cars for sale on Craigslist and Marketplace are dirty, or have old t-shirts and kids' cereal scattered all over.
They never realize it says so much about them and what they attempt selling!
