Nice (but pricey)

This forum is for cars that run, or at least are close to running. This isn't for parting out complete cars.

I suspect keeping car wax or other protective coating might help clear coat life as well.

Perhaps the wax does help it. I do claybar her every other year and rewax.
Props to modern waxes - a biannual wax is SO much easier than every six months like the days of yore.

Here is the new posting for the same car more photos it's nice but not that nice look at the seats either there a one off color or faded to baby poo green and a tear in drivers bolster.
The sticker on the bumper makes me think young driver.
HALF THAT PRICE MABY IN RENO

Edit
Not even half if I zoom in on the brake pedal it looks warn out
I learned Years ago if you are suspicious of the cars miles look at the wear on the pedals it takes 200 thousand plus to get the plastic to wear through to the metal unless you wear sandpaper shoes.
The photo does get fuzzy but looks worn out. If the miles are 120 there very hard miles

big dent on the lower left hatch. dents on both rear fenders. line between the hood and front driver side fender looks off, might be damage there too. plus the worn/torn interior. definitely priced too high IMO.

Rusty's interior Is verry close to perfict with similar miles to car in this thread.
Another reason why i'm suspicious of this car.

Looking foward to your visit to get rusty

Nice roof too, whats with all the lumpy roof's lately?

The odometer looks a tad suspicious, given that it's "120,007.0" I would expect that the zeros should all be lined up nicely and given that 0/10th's of a mile on the last digit, why is the 7 already starting to turn into an 8?
Given that the pic is straight on, I would also expect that first 1 to be a little more visible.
Heck, I'm at 415K, my "4" is clearly visible.
I'd be willing to bet if you pulled the pack, the anti-tamper tabs would be mysteriously broken.

Perhaps it's just coming up on the "7" but I know when mine is that close to "0" on the end, the one before it is much closer to being in the correct position.
But that still doesn't explain the excessive gap between the first 2 digits.

It's a big deal everywhere totally against the law!!!
If you are changing the miles on the odometer for personal reasons like a cluster change that's one thing but if you are doing it to lie to a potential buyer that's a BIG NO NO i'll bet it's a federal law.

I once sold an old truck that i had turned the odometer back after an engine swap to 11 miles.
I was completely honest with the new buyer he appreciated my honesty and bought the truck on the spot.
