1988 Ford Tempo Sedan

Great running car, great economy, NEW cylinder head, cheap!! I ended the auction early because I had a local buyer. Unfortunately, the buyer flaked out at the last minute. I am relisting this time for a three day auction so bid early if you are interested.


The Good

Runs GREAT, Brand new cylinder head with refreshed valves. It recently passed smog with no problems and I have the clear title in hand. Tags are paid until August of 2010. A/C works well, as well as heating system. The upholsery is in good condition. The tires are in decent condition, will need rears before fronts. I will include a good extra full sized tire (no rim included) with the auction. It drives smooth down the road, I would not hesitate to take a long trip in it. Both front power windows and door locks work.

The Bad

Rear power windows don't work. It needs a headliner and the clear coat on the paint is shot. There is a dent in the front bumper. The stereo works, but I have not tried the cassette since I no longer have tapes. The carpet needs cleaning and there is a stain on the back seat. There are some cracks on the dash, and I have covered the damaged package tray (rear window shelf) with some cloth.


Please look at the pictures, more available upon request. I would be willing to deliver this vehicle within 75 miles of my home for an additional $2.00 a mile. This item is also up for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

I have represented this item to the best of my knowledge, it is being sold in AS-IS condition, so bid accordingly. No guarantees are expressed or implied! Please be sure all your questions are answered before bidding. Please be honest in your emails when corresponding with me, I will do the same. $500.00 deposit due within 48 hours of auction end. Buyer to pay balance within 7 days of auction end, unless other arrangements have been made PRIOR to bidding.
