All pics of interior as well are shown in links at the bottom of this listing. The pics that you see here of the flaws. the white spots are reflections and not blemishes on the paint. It's simply reflections of sunlight and flash as well when pics were taken.
I'm listing this car for a friend. who doesn't use ebay.  We would prefer the purchase of this car to be picked up and payment of cash in person. Shipping is an option. though. we've never shipped a car before and we would need payment wired as the only option. and then for the buyer to arrange for shipping and for the car to be picked up here by the shipper that the buyer has arranged. The only option for shipping is to have it picked up from our home. though. if you want to pick it up. we are very close to Burbank Airport. which is 4 miles from me and I'm happy to pick you up if you fly out. Feel free to be in touch. by all means.

If you've been holding out for a clean Chevy Sprint Turbo. this is the one! All original. except for perhaps the stereo. though. I'm not entirely sure. Also. a new exhaust pipe had to be built. which I have in my receipt records. Original miles and odometer has always worked and mileage history can attest to this.

I've owned this car since 2013 and I think I am the fourth owner. as I recall searching records online before I purchased it. The last owner was in Santa Maria. CA. which I bought it from there. This car was originally purchased new in 1987 here in California and I believe that it has remained here in this State all the time. I have service records from what I have done on the car and I have driven it once a week and put less than 1. 00 miles on it. It's been a great. fun car. but I am moving on to other interests.

Based on my calculations. at present on the highway it's getting 40 mpg. which is great for any car these days. and amazing for 1980s technology and what these cars are in part known for. Just a fun car to go places with. everybody asks about it. waves or gives a thumbs up while on the road. and here's your chance to get a very nice Turbo Sprint. as it's only going to become more rare and more desired.

In March of 2013. as I'm looking at the receipt now from the service visit. it had 124. 27 miles on it and at present it has 124. 30. Major work includes a tune up. change of coolant. heater hose. 2 CV axles. oil seal output shaft seal. bolts on engine mount and exhaust flange. In addition. the muffler was replaced an exhaust pipe was built and replaced. In January of 2014 it had an intercooler pipe and hose replaced. In November of 2014 it had all four wheels balanced and a four wheel alignment. All kinds of normal things that it would need with regular service since then have been done. such as oil changes. An all around solid car. which you don't find them clean like this often. The turbo light illuminates when driving. too. as it should and when it should.

The flaws are as follows. as I have taken pics as well. There is some rust in various places and some light dings and scratches. On the sunroof there is a tab missing on the outside. as you can see in the pics. so if left outside. water can enter. but not a major amount if you're just washing the car. I've always garaged this car. so it hasn't been a problem. Under the rear license plate a strip is missing. as you can see in the pics. Considering its age. the interior is quite good. though. some parts just don't come clean. The carpet is excellent and the floor mats I believe are original. There is some fading on parts of the interior from the sun from the past. though. I've always garaged it. A 29 year old car. of course. isn't going to be in showroom condition. but it sure is nice as it stands for its age. 5 speed transmission. nbsp;3 cylinder. red color and clean title. Owner's manual booklet. as shown in pics. included. The paint is very good in most areas. all things considered with age and all. You are certainly welcome to look everything over with this car when you come. as would be expected. One strange thing that has happened once was the car wouldn't easily go into reverse. It simply wouldn't shift into it. but was able to shift into all other gears when stationary. Eventually. just on its own. we got it into reverse without any problem. Very strange and we don't know why this is.
Looking at the vehicle history report here. we noticed that it says something about rollback. We have no idea about this and no idea why it shows such a thing. as we didn't engage in any rollback and perhaps the fact that the odometer doesn't go over 100. 00 miles and simply starts again from 0 miles. perhaps it was confused as rollback. when not. in reality.

Brakes are excellent and tires are very good. Clutch is smooth as well. Battery changed in December of 2014. Registration renews in January of 2017.
Car has factory air conditioning and when you turn it on. compressor works. though. it needs freon and we don't know if there are leaks or not. as we've never had it filled. The switch to the heater doesn't always engage in the first level of air and strangely. it will blow warm air when the selection is made for the floor level. but not as hot for the normal selection of blowing air from the dashboard. Compression check came out great (at or slightly below 125) and brakes are great. too. as well as tires.

If you want to have a good time zipping around town or taking this on a long road trip. this is a wonderful car for it and you won't spend much on gas either while having fun. which is a big deal these days for everybody with gas prices.

I can be reached at 818-922-4840 and it's best to call. as I don't text because I need to keep my hands free with work. If there is no answer. just leave a message like we did back in the day. and I assure you that I'll get back to you shortly.
