Fuel pump was found to be bad. The car started and ran with a new pump installed, but the new pump failed due to rust in the fuel tank. After the car was run we noticed the engine oil to be milky (possible head gasket issue). Engine oil looked good before the engine was started (hopefully a sign of no major damage). The car was stored indoors and under a cover. Interior is very nice. Paint is shiny with a few dings and scratches. Here"s a chance to own a nearly $200k luxury car for a fraction of the price if you are ready to handle a few repairs to get it up and running again. Any questions call 281-341-0789.
Relisted due to s* *head winning bidder never followed through with payment. Don"t place a bid if you don"t plan on buying the car.
