"The seats are TAN CLOTH"

....

Yeah....that looks like it's tan to me....if tan is a new word for "blue".


"The initial indication from our lot personnel is that the ENGINE IS MISSING PARTS AND is non functional"

Hmmmm, maybe the fact that it's missing the turbo and all the intake plumbing is a good indication that it's missing parts.....no kidding...

I'd pitch in $20 if it hadn't already sold... What do you think the odds are we'll be seeing the new owner on here? :p

I can't get a very detailed pic of the engine bay, but it looks like it has a V-Band down pipe, indicating upgraded snail at one point. Upper Intake looks undisturbed and fuel rail looks to be there, so the potential for upgraded injectors is high. R154 - yup. Sort of looks like an HKS exhaust sytem (not that great at identifying exhaust sytems.) orf at least the muffler does. I could be worng, but is the HVAC box missing? And also, what's in the trunk? maybey the rest of the peices.... I would have bought this and stripped it to a shell... Too many parts on there I could use/sell

The vehicle is equipped with a 4cyl engine and AUTOMATIC transmission. The odometer shows 113,638 miles. It’s fairly well equipped with most of the options. The seats are GRAY CLOTH and appear to be in decent condition, although a good detail will make a huge difference. The exterior of the car is RED and is showing signs of wear and is faded. It has a few door dings and scratches. The tires appear to have roughly 20% plus road life left. Please refer to the photos included in this auction for more description details.

THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A BATTERY,

THIS VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS FRONT END DAMAGE.

This vehicle does not run and drive. The initial indication from our lot personnel is that the ENGINE is non functional and needs replacing, however, this is purely speculation

No possible way that the 20% tread tires had ANYTHING to do with that crash.
