I'm primarily looking to sell outright, but will consider trades. Let me know if you have any questions or would like a specific picture of something, etc. I'm easy to work with. If you'd like to check out the car in person, just let me know and we can set something up (car is located near Chicago, IL).

Trades: I'm open to straight trades if it's something worthwhile OR partial trades + cash. I'm currently looking to purchase a motorcycle, so that is something I would consider as a partial trade. But, I'm only looking at a few specific bikes. Feel free to shoot me any information on a trade (pics + details).

Price: My starting price is listed below, but I am negotiable and open to reasonable offers. I would also have no problem removing a few specific items from the car to lower the price. Some examples include: wheels (I have a set of rollers I can swap on, or you can bring your own), seats, and the rear decklid.

$15,000.00/obo

FAQ/Comments

Comment: Your price is way too high.
Response: Feel free to make a reasonable offer, the worst I can say is no. Otherwise, check out some other cars in your price range.

Comment: My second cousins sisters uncle purchased a similar car for $X.
Response: Great, ask if they will sell it to you for that same price.

Q: Why are you selling the car?
A: I purchased the Notch when I lived 10min from my parents' house (where I store the car). I later moved a lot further and currently have 1 parking spot at my condo. Thus, it's a 2 hour commute to pick it up and bring it home if I want to use it. If I had a house I'd keep it.

Q: ^Then, why entertain trades?
A: I'd rather sell outright as mentioned, but I'm a car guy like most others here. If something peaks my interest, I may consider it.

Q: Has it ever been in any accidents?
A: No accidents, clean CarFax. Feel free to shoot me a PM for the VIN if you'd like to run a report.

Q: Will you sell "X" part from the car separately?
A: The car will be sold as it sits today. If I come to an agreement to remove an item for a buyer (to lower the price), I will list it separately at a later time (no dibs, etc).

Q: Does it have A/C?
A: No. LMR sells a nice kit for reinstall if that is something you are interested in.

Q: Any items that need addressing?
A: List below.

(1) It could use an alignment, it's partially off from dropping the k-member to weld a bung on the oil pan. I will be setting up an appointment to have this completed soon, but I can also lower the price if you'd rather take care of it yourself. It's perfectly drivable as is.

(2) The power door locks respond slowly (you have to press the button a few times). I have already purchased a brand new actuator kit from LMR for both doors. I will be installing them soon when I get a chance, or they will be included with the sale (it's an easy install).

(3) The speedo recently stopped working (all other gauges work perfectly). I will be ordering a new speedo cable or VSS from LMR to correct this.
