Monteros on craigslist

I am the one that went and saw it in person and got the keys, started the car and let it run for a while while I inspected it. I did not drive it out because a truck was blocking it in and the owner of the truck was out for a test drive with another vehicle.

This Monty leaks a lot. Open the engine and look inside. A lot of oil. Then go under and look and you will see it slowly form a drop and drop off on the grass area where it is parked. It is strategically parked when the dripping oil is lost in the grass under it where a vigilant buyer might not see. Put that in your driveway and after 5 mins, move the car and see. There must be some drops already.

Apart from that, the car does look nice for its age. Seats look good, it starts strong and the transmission shifts smoothly. Not a car I can encourage someone to buy, except it i someone who is ready to put the work into it. Besides, if you think the price is attractive ask yourself why on earth someone has not bought it yet. I have a guess for an answer: because the car needs a lot of work in the engine.

There it is.
