Default Now that'* disgusting...

I had originally seen this car pop up in a neighboring city. Seemed like a '90/'91 Olds 88. It had 100k miles, and "the transmission needed a crank sensor" to get it running. Asking price was $400 then. Paint was in pretty bad shape, faded, etc.

I then later see it listed as "a good runner" in the $999 range. Paint was still suffering, bits were faded, etc. Looked like, from the pics, it was parked somewhere trying to get sold.

Then I stumbled on this, which I believe is the same car:

I think I threw up a little. I don't know what to say...

Don't get me wrong, I recognize that I live in an area with a demographic that may do work that may not stand the test of scrutiny, but for crying out loud, I can see it in the crappy pictures posted. There is no excuse for this level of horridness. No cares were given, and I don't mean that in a good way either.

Can't tell you the number of crank sensors that I had to put in transmissions to get it running.....
