“Will need some work before it gets a sticker.”

I think it has enough stickers already.

You can tell just by looking at that one photo that every wheel has had multiple encounters with curbs.

The way the bottom of the front bumper looks, it’s been driven forward over parking curbs as well.

watch out for rotted out suspension k members on those cars. I’ve seen quite a few in my area of the rust belt. Some cases, the body wasn’t even what I would call too bad. Light rocker rust, not holes thru yet. Climbed under to check the floor pans and radiator support, Boom Rot holes in the suspension K member. I really wanted to build a ZX3 for a while too.

That is why it takes work to get more.

It's had a hard life to be sure.

Yeah, I've heard bad stories of the rear suspension on these basically rusting into one piece as well

Is that the stock radio? It looks so horrible.

yikes. My girlfriend was looking at a ZX4 and I steered her as far from it as I could. She already had a rotted out impala (05) that you couldn’t jack up to change a flat. Crumbled worse than bleu cheese.

If I’m not mistaken it is also not double din sized because fuck you guys.

It’s a shame they are decent cars otherwise.

Oh for sure. The Zetec engine was nice, and they were light and fairly well suspension-ed .

I’m pretty sure that car has already given its life for all of our automotive sins.

They say the more bumper stickers on a car, the more likely they are to road rage. I would give this car a very wide berth.

I bet the owner is a real peach, too.

For as bad as the outside is, the interior is surprisingly clean( ish ) .

I might even go as far as to say shockingly clean. The car has clearly been loved but loved hard.

I think I'll go for a drive!

That wouldn't really surprise me with everything else going on

I HATE when people use their finger to obscure license plates... Can you at least use a leaf or something? This creeps me the fuck out every time... for some reason. I’m also pissed that they don’t just take the time to quickly edit it out. But most of all it’s just a gut-reaction, it creeps me out.

They probably were.

I don’t get why they feel the need to obscure plates at all, but it’s not terribly difficult to take pictures that don’t show the plates.

Yowen - not necessarily not spaghetti and meatballs > CalzoneGolem
03/26/2019 at 09:08

Yeah, I don’t either. I guess maybe it’s a nice feeling that people can’t run your plates by simply looking at a CL ad.

If you have the Carfax mobile app, you can “add” a new car to your garage with just the license plate, and have access to the service history.

oh cool! and also a good reason to obscure the plate in some cases, haha.
