Description
I originally purchased my car on ebay for $172 on ebay in 7/2005. I got a steal. All it needed was new struts (I got some KYB struts). The reason why it sold for so low is because he said to would shut off when you pressed the brake. That was an easy fix all it needed was the ground for the brake light fixed (the fuel pump would short out).
