I ran out of time, I’m leaving for school next week and I don’t want to pay insurance on a car that I’m not going to drive for eight months. I know nobody at home will drive it around the block a few times week like I have been to keep it fresh. It needs a home of a young or seasoned oppo who has the time and the place to actually work on her.

AC and Heat work, new tires all around, new battery,new windshield wiper motor, new driver side window regulator and motor, new windshield. new front rotors and pads. comes with the parts needed to pass safety, has two-year waiver for emissions. title in hand... somewhere....

Best part about this is that I know what car I’m saving up for next.

Oppo price $400.

needs rear wheel stud to pass safety...

If I was in need of a car I’d be all over this even though you’re like 800 miles south of me.

Why do you have to pay insurance if your not going to drive it?

Can’t you cancel the insurance if you aren’t going to drive it?

Change the oil, unplug the battery and put it up on jack stands. If you really want to be safe, lock it too.

Just call insurance, say you want to take it off your policy. The conversation doesn’t go any further than that. If they want to know why, just tell them you’re trying to sell it and that’s all. When you put it back on insurance, if they ask why, just say you weren’t able to sell it and would like to put it back on. You’re all fine. I’ve seen much more expensive cars sit for significantly longer with no side effects, so don’t worry about it.

I’ll try, I don’t think it’s going to go well.

I’m seriously tempted right now but I would have to drive down from Michigan so it would probably have to wait until the weekend.

Would you tow it, or drive it ?

In most states you can cancel the insurance and turn in the tag. It looks like it’s parked at a condo/apartment complex though so they may have an issue with it...

I would prefer to drive it but I guess I could rent a trailer, is it driveable? I know you said it was missing a wheel stud. It would be my new daily.

I’ll talk to my wife about driving six hours to buy a cheap car. If it were southern VA she’d probably be more OK with it.

They do, they have threatened to tow one of our vehicles before.

Hell, I’ll buy it and throw in an extra $100 if you deliver to Raleigh!

I would do a road trip if the tags Were not expired :/

I'm still looking for the title, somebody thought those papers on my shelf were meant to be rearranged.

It runs fine, the wheel stud itself is hanging out in the E-brake. For safety's sake I would tow it.

Good luck with the sale - for that price I can’t imagine someone wouldn’t pick it up.

If someone on here buys it and needs advice, I’ve fixed just about all there is to fix (except the stupid timing guides) on my ‘02 crown vic, and a lot is similar so I volunteer to provice internet-moral-support. Or buy it and move nearby then I can actually help you.
