*The picture above does not reflect the busted out  back windshield, please see the other updated picture.

Great everyday car, reliable and has many new parts (belts, breaks,  tires at 75%,pump), leather seats, power everything, windows, huge  drunk, full backseat, power sunroof and more. The only mechanical  issue at this time is that it needs a fuel pump installed (which  this auction comes with the part and its installed thru the back  seat which is a breeze).  The body is a chameleon wrap (few  months old) that changes from purple to blue which looks awesome.   The interior is also restored and is in really great shape.. leather  seats (only one small hole in the back, not very noticeable).. no  rips or tears in the rest.  Dash looks great but has a crack in  the back that you can see from one of the pictures.

So why am I selling this so cheap?  Because I bought it 6  months ago to film 'how to flip a car'.. so I put this wrap on and I  can't get anyone to help me finish it.. then I let it sit too long  so the fuel pump goes out.. and THE DAY I get the fuel pump in a  tree falls on it.  Its pretty hard to show people how to flip a  car when a tree goes thru it before the last film day.  I'm too  old for misadventure projects, I don't need the money, and my  patience is beyond gone with this particular interest of mine.   I'm willing to trade the whole project car for a McDouble and call  it a day so the highest bid wins and I DONT CARE if it goes for $1..  its yours!  The body was not even scratched by the tree branch  but it took the back windshield out.  The body is really  awesome though -- unique & beautiful purple to blue chameleon body,  premium chrome rims. Never been in a major car wreck and oil changed  every 3000 miles.  The car does need the oil / filters changed  pretty soon, as its been sitting for a while.

THIS is the CHEAPEST vehicle on the market hands down.  For  what this is going to sell for I'm positive you won't be able to buy  a car with this year, mileage, or condition and all it needs is  about 30 minutes installing a fuel pump and around 3 hours of wrap  work (which ANYONE can do without experience.. I put this wrap on  myself and I had no idea what I was doing).  You could even pay  someone $50 on craigslist to finish it and put the pump in haha.    The body is amazing but it does have a small crack on the front  bumper but its so low that its not very noticeable.  The dash  also has a crack in it.  If your willing to put in a little  work then you will save a MINT.    The truck DOES  close.. I just had it open for the picture for some reason or  another.  The AC does blow but I'm sure actually sure if it  blows cold as the only time I have driven this was when I picked it  up in the Winter but I might test and update this listing later.   When I picked this car up I drove it +200 miles without any issues  at all.  You won't find cars with blown engines, major body  damage, or even tore out seats that will sell CHEAPER this this  auction so make this your next vehicle.  If you want a car that  looks new both on the outside and the inside and you don't want to  pay ANYTHING for.. then this is it.

Will I be showing this car?  Yes.. but only if the price  goes over $1,000.  For under $1k its not worth showing since  you could sell the tires and crush it and make your money back.   It will be located in Johnson City near Science Hill, just message  me and you will receive the address.

 

What Needs To Be Done To This Car

     Install The Fuel Pump To Get It Running  (Parts Included)

     Finish the chameleon wrap (about 3 hours of work) which you don't need any  'skill' or tools to do. (The Wrap & Tools are Included)

     Call to Install A New Back Windshield ($300 for parts/labor or about  $50 if you do it yourself, you have to buy the windshield).

Read Before You Bid

    The car does not run so you will need to tow  it.  If you believe you can get it running then you can leave  it on the properly for 72 hours while you get it fixed.  Tow  it, drag it, push it home.. doesn't matter to me.

    There is a crack in the dash, one in the front  bumper, it needs the fuel pump installed, the wrap finished, and a  back windshield purchased & installed.

    The title is CLEAN and in hand.

    The car is being sold AS-IS.  The car was  fully running before I let it sit for well over a month, had a  mechanic look at it and the fuel pump is dead which fits the signs  so pretty confident its the only issue keeping it from running.

 

So What Is It Worth?

Here is a snap shop of bluebook saying a fair purchase price in  'good' condition.. which I would rank it in excellent condition if  the windshield wasn't the victim of a tree.  Bluebook says  $3371-$4022.   You need $300 to professionally replace the  windshield or about $50-100 to buy it do it yourself.  You  should be able to install the fuel pump yourself as its super easy  to get to. 

 

 

A Simple search on auto trader in the area doesn't  have too many matches but its showing 2002 (with less miles ranging  near the $4k mark).

Same on craigslist.. but take into consideration  with less miles and a windshield..

 

So what is the cost of my car?  I'm selling  it for less then a cup of coffee.  I think thats a deal!

PS:  If I don't get a $1 bid on this then I'm  installing the fuel pump and driving it straight to the crusher and  putting the video on Youtube.

Stellantis wants to trim 3,500 hourly U.S. jobs, UAW says

Wed, Apr 26 2023

WASHINGTON — Chrysler-parent Stellantis NV wants to cut approximately 3,500 hourly U.S. jobs and is offering voluntary exit packages, according to a United Auto Workers union letter made public Tuesday. The automaker is looking to reduce its hourly workforce offering incentive packages that include $50,000 payments for workers hired before 2007, UAW Local 1264 said in a letter dated Monday posted on its Facebook page. Stellantis spokeswoman Jodi Tinson declined to comment. A person briefed on the matter said the figure might be lower than the figure cited in the UAW letter. In late February, Stellantis indefinitely halted operations at an assembly plant in Illinois, citing rising costs of electric vehicle production. The action impacted about 1,350 workers at the Belvidere, Illinois, plant that built the Jeep Cherokee SUV and resulted in indefinite layoffs. The automaker has warned it may not resume operations as it considers other options. The UAW letter said openings created by workers leaving would be filled by workers on indefinite layoff. Stellantis said in February that about 40,000 U.S. hourly workers were eligible for profit sharing. Last week, UAW President Shawn Fain said Stellantis' decision to idle the Illinois plant was "a flat-out violation" of the union's contract with the UAW and is unacceptable. The UAW will enter talks with the Detroit Three before labor contracts expire in mid-September. Earlier this month, General Motors said about 5,000 salaried workers accepted buyouts to leave the automaker. GM CEO Mary Barra said February job cuts of a few hundred jobs and the 5,000 buyouts "provided approximately $1 billion towards" a $2 billion cost cutting target. Ford Motor Co recently announced significant job cuts in Spain, Germany and other parts of Europe and in August said it would cut a total of 3,000 salaried and contract jobs, mostly in North America and India.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.

Feds investigating FCA sales fraud focusing on strange code word

Fri, Sep 2 2016

The US government is currently investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) over the possibility of sales fraud, and according to The Wall Street Journal, the investigation has revealed a strange phrase about a nonexistent "unnatural acts department." People knowledgeable about the term told The Wall Street Journal that this phrase was a "rallying cry." Basically, if it looked like the company, region, or dealer wasn't going to hit sales targets, this was a sign that some outside-the-box sales solutions were needed. People told the news outlet those solutions could include selling cars at a loss or having the dealer buy a fleet of customer test-drive cars. However, this could also be evidence of some less savory ways to boost sales. In addition to the investigation, the company is already facing at least one lawsuit from a dealer group that alleges it would bribe dealers to pad monthly sales figures. FCA had an incentive to maintain sales numbers as well, considering that it was claiming a long streak of increasing sales. Under scrutiny recently, the company changed its sales reporting practices and numbers for previous years. Under the old reporting methods, it was possible for dealers to sell cars, report the sales, and then cancel or "unwind" the sales later. This wouldn't count as a lost sale, but the car also couldn't be recorded as another sale later. As a result, an unscrupulous dealer could have hypothetically used it to "sell" a car one month and "unwind" it the next. If FCA knew about this, it's also possible the company could have pushed dealers to use the system for false sales, something the Feds theorize may be related to the "unnatural acts department" phrase. It's still entirely possible this "unnatural acts department" was just a corporate term for thinking of creative ways to meet sales goals. And selling cars at a loss is definitely unnatural for businesses that are trying to make money. Whatever the phrase truly meant to dealers, it certainly is bizarre.
