This is a 1999 Europa G500. It was purchased used in 2011 with 100K miles. I've put in 74,000 miles in the last 13 years and it has been a solid runner... up until now, the engine has issues and it needs a bit of work to get it back in running condition, which I will describe below.
This is great contender for a full rebuild or spend $5-8K to bring it back to a solid daily driver.
I am selling it with no reserve and 7 day auction for a quick sell. Car is currently in Queens, NY. I prefer local pick up and it's driveable within a 2-3 hour radius. You will need to arrange for transport.
THE GOOD
- New BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2 265/75 R15 Tires installed about 10K miles ago.
- Stiffer front and rear springs installed about 2 years ago. Stiffer springs gives an additional 2-3 inches in height and supports heavier cargo. Front and rear shocks about 2 years old
- New rear disc rotor and new front and back brake pads
- New alternator
- No rust on body, Some rust underneath. Parked in indoor garage
- AC and heater works
- All lockers function
- Transmission still solid
- Original books & manuals, first aid kit, trailer hitch and tools
- New NY inspection sticker May 2024
- Well maintained with all records,
THE BAD
- There is only 1 key. Electronic FOB does not work. It unlocks via the passenger side as this is an import, there is no key slot on the driver side door.
- Windshield has a crack and will need replacing
- ABS light is on. ABS works fine, it just needs new sensor
- Needs new windshield wiper motor. Works but wiper does not stop at the bottom of the windshield
- Rooftop does not retract
- Dent on rear fender, as shown in picture. Can be bent back in shape
- Left side blinker blinks faster than right side blinker
- Needs new rear left brake light
- broken driver side door storage
- Rough interiors. Ripped driver seat. It was used as work truck as well as transporter of two little kids
THE UGLY
- Needs a new engine or an engine rebuild. Cylinder 8 has no compression or spark. It runs about 1/3 less power. It smokes during start ups and when the engine revs too high. It's drivable as long as you don't rev it too high. Drives fine on highways 50-60mph. Used engines on Ebay can be found for around $2-3K.
- Needs new exhaust/muffler system. It's fully rusted out with a joint that's not connected, shown in pictures. It has a louder than normal engine sound.
