Arizona rust free car!

We bought this car to be a daily driver. Figured it would save us a lot of fuel costs. The fuel economy is great but the car just isn't the right one for our family so now it's listed here. The car runs and drives great overall! These cars were never muscle cars but once it does get up to speed it cruises great and smooth. The cruise control and all the windows and door locks work great. All the doors open and close very solidly. All of the gauges work as they should. The axles and boots are in good condition. No accidents that I am aware of however I have never looked up the carfax on it. The air conditioning has been converted to R134a and recently serviced. It blows plenty cold but the volume of air that it puts out is not really enough to keep it cool in the Arizona summer. There is NO RUST on this AZ car! I would be very comfortable jumping in this and taking it on a road trip!

Recent work done.....
New metal top tank custom fabricated for the radiator. The rest of it was in excellent condition and was serviced and pressure tested by a professional radiator shop. Brand new Duralast Gold battery install 2 weeks ago. Oil and filter changed 4 weeks ago. New fuel filter and thermostat and of course coolant at the same time as well as a few general adjustments just to fine tune everything. The previous owner stated that the starter was new about a year ago.

Problems that I am aware of.....
It has an older Clarion tape deck that doesn't seem to work. The power antenna does not work but it stays up all the time. There is a small leak from the valve cover gasket. It takes a little while to start when it's cold out. The map pocket on the passengers front door is broken and removed. There is a small dent in the right rear quarter panel right above the wheel as seen in the picture. Very minor though. The light on the dash is indicating that the brake pads are low now as well.

I'll be glad to show it to you before the auction ends or answer any questions you may have so please let me know. I have nothing to hide and I prefer to deal open and honestly. If you need pictures of anything in specific just ask. This is being sold AS IS and WHERE IS with NO RESERVE! Meaning that it will sell to the highest bidder that actually completes the deal. It is your responsibility to arrange shipping or to drive it where you need to go. There is a slight possibility that I could drive it nearby to meet you for a small fee. Just depends what your needs are and my availability. $500 PayPal deposit required within 48 hours of auction end. If you are planning on picking it up and paying the full amount in person within 48 hours then the PayPal deposit is not required. Please let me know if that is the case. If the deposit is not made and I haven't heard from you then I will assume that you are a flake and do not wish to man up and finish the deal. At that point it may be relisted or sold to the second highest bidder. Full payment is due within 7 days and pick up is within 14 days. I can possibly work with you on some things if you communicate those needs as soon as possible to me. Thanks and good luck!

Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.

Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
