I bought this car in 2009 from the estate of the original owner. It was my daily driver for a couple of years. From 2011 to 2015 it was only used occasionally, and since 2015 it has been parked. It started running rough in 2015, like it was only running on 5 cylinders. I tried my best to diagnose the problem, but came up empty. I have multiple other vehicles, and spending the time, effort and money to get it running smoothly just has not been a priority. In the time I've owned it I have replaced/repaired the following:
Front and rear brake pads, rotors, calipers
Motor mount
ball joints
AC evaporator, compressor and all the ancillary parts
Normal tune-up items (K&N air filter, spark plugs and ignition cables, fuel filter and regular oil changes).
The body on this car is rock solid and it only has 109,000 miles. I also installed a high-end sound system, but still have the original radio/cassette player and speakers in a box. There's no doubt in my mind that with a little TLC this can be a solid daily driver for many more years and miles.

Asking price $2,500. It is located in Georgia and although it starts and runs, I would not recommend a long drive until it is brought back to smooth running condition.

What type of plugs in there? Resistor, or non-resistor? Are you including the upgraded stereo?

(To be honest, I don't trust the non-resistor plugs for squat)!

Thank you.

I'm not sure if they are resistor or non-resistor. I installed them 2 years ago, but they have zero miles on them. You could easily change them out to whatever plug you want. Yes, the upgraded sound system is included in the quoted price. I added a picture to the original post showing the subwoofer and two amps in the trunk.
