[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] i'm selling my car!!! grrr!
driving home tonight, by voltage light came on. no problem i thought, this has happened before because i'm having other problems. i'll shut the a/c off and finish the short drive home. then the lights started getting dim. i'm on a major road in boston, wrong place to break down. and i KNOW it's gonna happen soon, so i start making my way to the right side. car sputters, and i coast onto another street into a parking lot within walking distance of my apartment. walk home, get help (although obviously the alternator is bad, so i don't know what i was planning to do). gone no more than 30 minutes. get back, the car has been towed. 95 bucks to get it back. no surprise that jumping it doesn't work. as soon as the cables are pulled the car stalls out. so i pay another 45 bucks to have the car towed to my place TWO BLOCKS away! now i have to by an alternator and pop it in (luckily i can get parts at cost from work). anyway, i'm fed up. i'm selling. so here is the question: 86 5kcst, non-quattro. leaking bomb, bad throw out bearing, needs new front struts, no right window or sunroof operation or right seat adjustment operation. other than that the car is tip top ;) i'm thinking about two grand. sound reasonable? tonight i'm tearing down the picture of my car previously affectionately referred to as 8F-22 from my wall. later, dan
