Priginal miles as well! Can't get any better than that! Better than original!

It makes me wonder what type of buyer actually buys something from the ads which have terrible grammar/spelling.

Not Craigslist, but still pretty funny. I used to work with the guy who's selling this. He was a good guy, just really naive. This is the worst sales pitch I've ever read. He hardly listed one good thing about the car. Also, the car is unregistered because it's unregisterable (cut springs, too dark tint). Also, one time he drove down the coast and one of the wheels fell off.

Jesus, he did miss a bit of very important information there. I suggest you inform eBay, before someone gets screwed over.

I've seen people restore from less. As long as the chassis is there, most of the other stuff can be made up.

Is it interference or non-interference? IOW, how bad is a broken timing chain?

Dunno about whether it is interference or not, but it takes a bit to break a chain. I would not be surprised if something else has gone wrong with that motor.

Hey, guys this Protege only has small damage on the front. Also, someone offered me $4,000 for it fixed, so it's totally worth $3250 if I haven't done anything!

I'd hate to think what the buyer's idea of big front end damage is.
