"quarter panel and fender damaged is easily repaired"
Yeah right - I spent hours getting this area straight on my car. This POS is much worse than the 2.0 I bought last year for half that price. |

I'd really hate to see what they'd call a basket case in need of TLC.

The other picture - the one showing the rust on the floor pan with the note - floorpands almost perfect. You could put a finger through that stuff.
"Great Interior" - Yeah right And people _wonder_ why AA has a bad reputation? This borders on false advertising. If it didn't have pictures, it would be false advertising.

If theirs is worth that much shoot mine was a $5,000 car when I got it. What a deal considering I only paid 900 for it.

 Battery tray? It probably doesn't exist, they could have touted it as a 'weight-saving' feature ...

If they can positively tell me that the rod bearing that's bad is on the #4 cylinder, they are better at diagnosing mechanical stuff than i will ever be. How can they tell for sure without taking the engine apart?
I might be able to guess at it and get it right 25% of the time......... |

Yes, but it's "Fully Serviced and ready to go home"
If they "think" there is a bad bearing, it's probably F***ed! James

Fender
Non Standard steering wheel Missing carpet Missing brake pedal cover Missing seat cushion Cracked dash board MIssing center tray Missing access plate for the shiftrod and center tunnel Headlight cover 2 missing headlight trims no rocker covers missing horn/foglight grill crappy wheels 2 missing side markers broke heatlight bucket and missing lens rear left fender damaged Broken rear tailight RUst on the rear trunk lid and _something is wrong with the latch. driver seat cushion has a hole in it Car has been repainted There _IS_ rust in the passenger floor pan Rear trunk lid shows several spot of rust Broken targa clip - driver side rear bumper is damaged no trunk seal in the rear It's leaking oil (Passenger side) A significant amount, as the puddle became larger from the 2nd photo to the 5th photo Missing spare tire and hold down equipment There is definitely rust in the front trunk And I think there is something funky about the front wheel alignment (Look at the space above the wheel on the passenger side compared to the driverside) And what BS - "Non-appearence group 2.0 - very rare" Geez. They stripped this car and now they are trying to pawn it off as a rare car because it doesn't have the normal equipment? They _MUST_ believe the Ebay public are a bunch of rubes.

This auctioneer may not be affilated with AA. They are brand new to eBay. The real AA has a different seller ID.
This guy   is obviously a ruse. But hey!!!!ya gotta laugh at the attempt. I have seen worse.

No it's not a "ruse". Click on "View Sellers Other Auctions". Click on the Paypal link. It's AA. Just another employee at AA with a new ID!
It's real.
