THE BAD NEWS:

ORIGINAL PAINT is in need of work. nothing that couldn't be done in your home garage. Surface rust in a couple of small spots. remediation done 2 years ago. Minor electrical problems from loose connections inside the dash. seems to need to be plugged back together (common for vehicles of this age/type). Vacuum leak. probably inside the passenger door since that lock sticks. but mechanics here want $120/hr to look for it. so again. if you have a home garage….

Oh. and the ORIGINAL cassette deck doesn't actually play cassettes any more radio works fine.

I can include a selection of 80's cassette tapes for the right buyer!

Wonderful car. but I had to put in a new furnace ($5000!!!) and my job runs out at the end of the month. Last chance. if I don't sell her quickly I will have to keep her and sell my little Jeep TJ instead.
