Unclaimed storage auction purchase. It's been parked at this storage facility for about 4 years. I don't know anything about it's history other than that.

I put in a used battery, picked the ignition lock with a lock pick, and it fired right up. Running on gas that's at least 4 years old, and it sounds pretty good.

Car starts, runs, drives and stops as you can see in this YouTube video:

I haven't done anything, washed or checked anything on this vehicle, other than making it run as you can see. Appears to have about 77,000 miles which I believe are original. Some rust, notably in the common lower area behind wheels and rear and side edges of the hood, an unusual place for rust. Also a couple of small rust spots where the roof meets the side of the body, but only a couple and they are small. In the photos, the roof paint is peeling around the lower edges and that may look like huge spots of rust, but it is actually peeling roof paint with only a little rust as mentioned. The rest of the body is in good shape.

Some notes I made while I was with the car:

Driver's outside door handle is missing the thumb button so it won't open. Inside handle is there and moves but will not open the door. 

Transmission has a fluid leak. Had to add some fluid to make it go into gear, a couple days later it had leaked out and needed more. I'm guessing this leak is why the previous owner stopped driving the car.

Aluminum radiator appears newer.

AC blows air through the correct vents, and it is cool but not cold.

Dash top is not cracked.

All glass is good all around.

Engine idles nicely, seems smooth and powerful.

Small exhaust leak sound at rear of manifold. This seemed to go away as the engine warmed up.

Power table seems to have wiring and such intact underneath, but when I was there I didn't know how to use it so I didn't test it.

Original hubcaps have skulls in the center.

Tires hold air and that's about the only good thing I can say about them.

Newer muffler with older exhaust pipes.

Headlights, tail lights, brake lights, horn all working. Turn signal needs a bulb on one side, other side works.

In short, this vehicle will need everything checked out and certainly some repairs before being ready for the road.

ABOUT THE PAPERWORK:

This vehicle was sold in accordance with California Self Storage Lien Sale laws. The previous owner stopped paying rent and lost the vehicle. Correct and legal lien sale paperwork from the facility is included, and I can also write a Bill of Sale from me to you if you want one. This paperwork allows you to take title to this vehicle within California. If you are buying from outside California or from another country, be aware that your local government may not recognize California Lien Sale paperwork and you'll have to figure out your own s*** in that case.

Once you purchase this vehicle, you must remove it from the facility within 7 days of purchase. I'm now paying rent here for this vehicle and the space is NOT transferable to the next owner... they want the vehicle removed. The facility is located in Santa Ana, California, near the 405 Freeway.

Contact me for anything that may be unclear.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Mystery shoppers love Infiniti, hate Tesla

Tue, Jul 12 2016

Infiniti, followed by Lexus tied with Mercedes-Benz took the top two spots for best sales experience according to mystery shoppers from the latest Pied Piper Prospect Satisfaction Index, while EV manufacturer Tesla recorded the lowest overall score. Not surprisingly, premium brands dominated the top ranks. Including the three already mentioned, luxury brands occupied seven of the top ten spots and included Audi, BMW, Porsche, and the only American brand to crack the upper echelon, Cadillac. Toyota, Volkswagen, and Nissan rounded out the first ten positions. The news for domestic automakers isn't good. Aside from Caddy, the only other star-spangled automaker to score above the industry average is Chrysler. The rest of FCA, most of GM, and all of Ford fell below the line. But Pied Piper's mystery shoppers handed Tesla the biggest walloping – the company is ten full points below the next lowest brand, Volvo, and its score of 86 is 17 below the average of 103. It's baffling, considering the company's touted direct-sales model. "Tesla leaves me scratching my head," Fred O'Hagan, Pied Piper's president and CEO, told Wards Auto. "They own all of their stores, so you would think each one would be doing the same thing. But they're not. Tesla is consistent in its inconsistencies." O'Hagan added that there's a "huge variation" in Tesla's store-to-store effectiveness, and that in some cases, shoppers found showroom workers that acted more like "museum curators," Wards Auto reports. It might be popular to call Tesla the Apple of the car world, but based on Pied Piper's work, the brand has a long way to go to emulate the uniform shopping experience of an Apple Store. The news might be bad for Tesla, but even for the brands that scored below average, there's cause for celebration. Only Tesla and Mini lost points in this year's rankings, and only Mercedes and Lincoln held steady. Every other brand, including Infiniti, which topped the index for the first time, gained at least one point. The biggest improvements belong to Porsche, Land Rover, and Mitsubishi, which all jumped five points. Pied Piper's annual Prospect Satisfaction Index uses mystery shoppers – over 6,100 this year – from across the country to assess dealers and generate rankings from over 50 individual factors.

GM moving international sales HQ to Singapore from Shanghai

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

General Motors has announced that it will be moving its international headquarters from Shanghai to Singapore, a move that will see 120 employees working from the city-state by the time business opens in 2014. Meanwhile, 250 to 300 of the employees at the Shanghai office will remain in China, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
The shuffle is part of a bigger reorganization that will see GM isolate its operations in the People's Republic from its broader international efforts. This sort of divide-and-conquer strategy will allow GM to still react to emerging markets while, according to the WSJ, providing a dedicated management team for the Chinese market. The team in Singapore will be responsible for operations in Africa, southeast Asia, Australia, India, South Korea and the Middle East, on top of managing Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, according to a statement from GM.
The shift to Singapore "will help us to create a renewed identity for CIO (Consolidated International Operations) and lead GM's umbrella strategy for the region," said GM Executive Vice President of CIO, Stefan Jacoby.
