New York State Residents Please Understand Your Restrictions When Bidding On This Vehicle.

This car runs and drives excellent.

I drove it about 25 miles - no problem.

Three new tires - one ok tire.

Brakes feel fine (I did not rack the vehicle or pull a wheel).

Nice stereo.

This car goes to the highest bidder.

No Reserve!

No Buy It Now!

Please Don't Ask!

This car will not pass NY State inspection due to the check engine light being on.

Codes are for "fuel trim" and O2 sensor.

Catalytic converter comes back and is not an inspection issue.

There is an exhaust noise coming from the exhaust manifold area.

CarFax shows an accident but no frame damage or air bag deployment.

Fan does not work so I can't tell if the AC works.

Can't figure out how the top goes down - assume it does not work.

Interior is nice - body has some minor issues.

Dent left front fender - driver door is a little faded.

Drive it home!

Windows work.

New York residents are unable to bid or buy unless they are a registered car dealer, registering/re-titling the vehicle out of state or are using it for "Parts Only”.

When a car is sold as "Parts Only' or "Salvage" it must pass a NY State "Salvage Inspection”. This is done to keep rebuilt wrecks that are unsafe off the road - especially vehicles with frame damage or airbag deployment. My cars are rarely rebuildable wrecks and therefore will easily pass this strict inspection process when the problem that is advertised is corrected. There are about 10 to 15 NY State salvage inspection sites in NY State - 2 or 3 are on Long Island and there are a couple in NY City. Call me for further clarification.

As a registered NY State dealer I am unable to sell a car that won't pass inspection to a NY State resident. Anyone else can bid and buy. Sorry, I don't make the rules but as a used car dealer I must abide by them.

Any questions call 516-228-1016 and leave a message if I'm not in. Please don't wait until the last day or last few hours to contact me. Please speak clearly.

I will pick you up at the train or bus station.

Winning bidder please leave a $300.00 non-refundable deposit in PayPal within 48 hours of the auction close. If I don't receive the deposit within the 48 hours I will re-list the car.

Please plan on picking this vehicle up within 15 days of the auction close unless you have made prior arrangements with me before bidding.

All vehicles that run and drive are driven at least 10 to 20 miles and usually 30 to 40 miles or more. I try to describe these vehicles to the best of my 44 years of experience. Our familiarity with these autos is limited to the miles we drive them. Please be aware of this when bidding.

As always, if the winning bidder is not happy after examination and road test, I will cancel the sale and refund $250.00 of your deposit.

Attention "Phantom/No-Show" bidders - I do not entertain any second place bids and always re-list the vehicle.

If your feedback is 1 or lower you must contact me prior to bidding. If you don't contact me your bid will be cancelled and you will be blocked from further bidding.

Final sale price is what you pay! (New York residents must pay sales tax and inspection fee when applicable.) There are no extra hidden fees!!!

We will accept any and all trade-ins or will visit you to purchase any vehicle outright within a 50 mile radius of zip code 11554.

Good luck and thanks for looking!
