I bought this car used in 2001. There was only one previous owner before me, who drove the car for business trips. This previous owner smoked in the car. However, I have now owned it for 13 years, and I did/do not smoke in the car, so the smell should be long gone! Please note that there are some cigarette burns in the seat cushions.
This is a good car that has been very reliable and has lasted me a long time. It has never stalled on me. I am selling this car because I just got a new one. I loved this car, but I don't know anything about fixing to taking care of cars, so an older car is very difficult and expensive for me to maintain. I think the best fit for this car would be someone who works on cars or knows enough about them to do simple repairs on their own. I think it could still be a great car for years to come with the proper care and maintenance that I just can't give. Back around 2005 I had to have the engine completely replaced, so it has a newer engine. The car is definitely getting old, but major systems still work: brakes, transmission, engine, etc. The air conditioner and heater still work great. The power windows and seats work great. So does the interior lighting. Please not that the windshield wipers need repair. They aren't turning on, and it could just be a fuse. I think the fuse in the headlights is blown as well, but the brights are still working just fine. I believe that the right rear shock may need to be replaced because it makes some rattling noises when hitting bumps in the road. Brakes work fine. Power steering is great. It is due for an oil change. There are some cosmetic issues as well - a large dent in the rear bumper, some scrapes and dents around the car. Nothing terrible that has damaged the frame or hinders driving. The car has never (with me, I can't speak to the original owner, but I remember the Carfax looked good) been in an accident. The paint is also oxidizing, and there are some rust marks around the exterior trim. The original radio and cassette player were removed to make room for a store-bought CD player, which is still installed in the car, and you can have. However, the CD player doesn't latch properly anymore, so while it still works, you may want to replace it. As far as mechanical problems, I can only say that the car runs just fine, and it has always been reliable for me. I'm not sure what will need fixing and when, but it is good to go for now. This car is very big and roomy. I've moved several times in this car and I've always been amazed at how much I can fit in it. It accelerates quickly and feels powerful to drive. It is a wide car and it doesn't blow all over the road when it's windy. A very sturdy ride. I just need to sell this car. I know that it isn't worth much, and that's fine. At this point I just need to get it out of my driveway. My registration expired around the time I was getting my new car, so I haven't taken it in for a pre-sell tune up. I also know at that point, I won't make any money on the sale. I didn't use this car as a trade in because I bought a hybrid and my dealership wasn't interested in buying this make and model. I paid the car off back in 2006, and I have the title free and clear. I am willing to sell it to a private buyer or a dealership. I've been very upfront and honest about my knowledge of the car, and I cannot guarantee that there will not be problems with it in the near or distant future. This is its current status. I would caution you to please not buy this car if you either cannot work on it yourself, or are not willing to put some money into it to fix it up - it is 18 years old! |

Preserved truck found at the bottom of frozen lake
Tue, Jan 26 2016A fisherman in central Minnesota pulled more than bluegill and bass out of his local fishing hole earlier this month. While ice fishing on Mayhew Lake, a local man was startled when, using an underwater camera to scout for fish, he discovered a vehicle sitting on the lakebed, the SCTimes reported. He immediately called the Benton County Sheriff's office, which sent deputies to examine the vehicle. Once they arrived, the deputies used their own camera to have a look and discovered a late-90s to early-00s model Dodge Ram pickup in roughly 12 feet of water. The Sheriff's department dive team was then dispatched to search the truck and the area surrounding it for bodies or valuables. The truck was lifted from the lakebed through a huge hole in the ice. The Sheriff's office ran the plates and discovered that it was reported stolen in March of 2000 from a nearby address. Investigators believe that given the truck's location, almost 100 yards from the lake's public access ramp and 25 yards from the north shore, that it was driven on to the lake while it was frozen, then allowed to sink to the bottom once the ice melted. Thanks to the lake's frigid waters, the truck was surprisingly well preserved. Aside from a missing grille, a coating of mud inside, and a patina of rust on the sheet metal, there was little damage to the truck despite its long rest in the lake. With an engine full of lake water and the damage done by roughly sixteen freeze-thaw cycles, the truck will never run again, but its condition is a good testament to the build quality of those old Rams. It certainly held up better than that '57 Plymouth Belvedere they buried in the time capsule under the Tulsa city courthouse.

Final Dodge Demon and Dodge Viper to be auctioned off for charity
Fri, Apr 13 2018A little while ago we wrote about the Viper factory being recommissioned into a museum, that will hold the historic cars originally evicted from the Walter P. Chrysler museum. Now, what happened to the last Viper that factory built? It's getting auctioned off, in good company. Barrett-Jackson is auctioning the last 2017 Viper built, together with a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon said to be the last Demon produced. Crossing the block in June in Uncasville, Connecticut, the pair of cars produces a total of 1,485 horsepower, of which the Demon accounts for 840 horses and the Viper for 645. Both are finished in bright Viper Red, and yes, the Demon will include the optional passenger seat. All proceeds from the sale will go to charity, to United Way. "Pairing the last Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and the Dodge Viper production cars – two of America's most sought-after vehicles – under the roof of Barrett-Jackson gives someone the 'last' chance to own this unique piece of automotive history, and Dodge//SRT the opportunity to raise money for a cause close to our hearts", said FCA's Steve Beahm. In addition to the cars, the sale will include memorabilia and a Demon Crate, which includes narrow, drag-spec front tires, performance modules and track tools. The auction is held from June 20th to 23rd. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
