Possibly the original buyer decided to Upgrade. My 98SE had a cassette deck in it when I bought it...

Sweet deal. I've always thought it was a pretty nice stereo for a base model.

They want $400 for it.


The owner said he "put too much oil" in it and it started to develop a "knock"....hmm



"it still drives, but I would not leave town with it"



This would likely mean he spun a bearing correct?

The ammont of money hes had to put in my sisters car is over $3000, however its in pretty rough shape and probably not worth more than $1000...I hope the price is right on this bonnie..i figure, slap a few snow tires on the front and he'll have a car that will start at -30, might need a battery too. Oh one more thing, the '81 turns out it needs a new transmission, estimated cost is over $2000 to replace it, since it is so rare, that is just for parts...

Well thats what I said, but he said "no" lol. However it would make sense, that if the upper failed, water seeped into the bearings and it would appear he put too much oil in.

ya but from a buying standpoint when looking at the car, its more viable to just start the car and take a listen....
