Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Äidin kauppakassi myyntiin uuden tieltä. Hetken leimaa ja kohtuulliset kilometrit. Pääosin toimiva käyttöauto, toki pientä vaivaa löytyy... Sähköikkunat ei toimi, välillä saattaa toimia, joten ilmeisesti johtovika jossain, ei tutkittu. Silloin tällöin sytyttää häiriövalon ja saattaa lakata vastaamasta kaasuun, halpatesteri näytti että 1 koodi mutta ei kertonut mikä.. Välillä toimii satoja kilometrejä ilman ongelmia. Nyt ruvennut myös kuopissa alustasta kuulumaan pieni kolahdus, ei mahdollisuutta tutkia, eikä haluakaan enää.. Myös joku pakoputken lämpöpelti kolisee käynnistäessä. Nyt seikkailumieltä omaavalle tai korjaustaitoiselle sopivasti. Korissa jonkin verran alkavaa ruostevaurioo helmoissa, näkyy kuvissa. Kytkin tehty kesäkuussa. Auto sijaitsee polvijärvellä n. 1kk ajan minkä jälkeen siirtyy Tampereelle. Kyselyt numeroon 045 66 412 55
