I suggest to Jason that this is a flood car with all the rust and mud that I cleaned out. With the mechanical problems it is a salvage car. The wreck that it had been in had never been properly repaired.

Many other problems but these safety ones are the big issues to me.

Buyer:

               1.      I mentioned to Jason that this car should have been  a salvage car he said    probably so

2.      I mentioned that the stink, mud and rust were caused by being water logged at some point.

3.      Got an estimate for repairs in getting the head lights in.

4.      Sewed the seats.

5.      Bought 1 good used head light $115.00 one bad used headlight head light $45.00 (ebay)

6.      Took out seats and carpet. Mildew stink still there.

7.      Tried to work with the dealer for repairs. I shopped on ebay to try to save them money.

8.      I asked several times if there was anything that about the car that would make me walk away.

9.      Ive been in touch with them almost daily and always waiting to hear back.

10.  Im tire of trying to fix this car to be safe.
