I have posted it on Craigslist etc but I figured I would post here. It's a 99 Oldsmobile Cutlass with 113k. It's in fair condition seeing that it runs well, doesn't leak oil or anything and it will get you to Point A to Point B and has A/C etc. Only issues are the engine light is on but I have had it checked out several times and seems to not be any major issues (light comes on and off intermittently but dealer has found nothing wrong) squeeks when you first start it up but that is becuase the belts were replaced and the belts against the pulleys has caused the squeeking (this is what I was told by a mechanic as well as that if you slap paint on the pulleys it will be fine but even so once the car warms up the squeeking goes away) and there is a theft deterrent issue with this car that apparently was prevelant in GMs...being that if you just shove the key in the ignition and turn it sometimes it acts like it doesn't recognize the key and the theft light comes on. Just pull out key wait a couple minutes til it goes off and try again. I found the solution for this not to happen is you insert the key and wait for the beeping to stop (u know when u first insert a key the dashboard lights up and it beeps etc) and then turn the key. By doing this I haven't had the issue in a couple years. Oh and there is a small to medium tear in the driver's seat in the leather seam down the middle and no you don't feel it lol, it's not like you sink it it or any crap like that....it's not that big lol.
Obviously with these issues it's not in good or excellent condition. Kelley Blue Book puts it's value at just over $2,200 in fair condition. I'm trying to sell it for $1,800. Think it's reasonable.
Figured I would post here as well. Here are pics
