I have a 98 black on black LSC, that i bought from an italian lady with 130K. It now has about 180K on the clock. This car has been my daily driver for the past 3 years or so. The body is OK. No paint peel/fading, tho it has some small dents and scratches. Cleaned up it looks nice. The car has 20% tints that i had professionally installed. Also has octastars that are in very nice shape (not all peely like some)

The goods:

4.10 rear end with detroit trutrac posi unit (2 years old)
XCAL2 programmer
new fuel injectors
Focus 255lph fuel pump (almost new)
Cobra R rear shocks
Both HIDs work
New rear perelli tires
4" mmx driveshaft

The Bads:

Engine leaks a bit of oil. I usually top off a half quart between oil changes.
Blend door doesnt work (damn gen 2's)
The front bags just started leaking
Needs 02 sensors (i believe they are original)
Front end is a bit loose. I have new ball joints for it, just havent put them in yet! i even have the press. (i;ll probably do that either way)

I cant think of anything else at the moment. The car runs and drives fine (its been my only car for the past 3 or so years) It just needs too much work right now, and i work in a real nasty part of Hartford CT, where cars get robbed and messed up all the time, so i dont want to fix it all up then have it robbed or something. I'm looking for an 80s crown vic or caprice as a beater that will run like a bear and i wont have to worry about. (id be interested in trades!)
Also, the car comes with chrome cobra Rs that have trashed tires and are a little rough, but they would come wih the car.
I would be looking for 1000 dollars. (not bad seeing the reciept for the rear end alone was like 1400!!!) But, i need to buy something in the meantime, so its not available this minute. just seeing if theres any interest.
Also, i WILL NOT part out.
Let me know. The car is located in Rocky Hill Connecticut ( right near hartford, 2 hours from boston and new york) PM me if interested.
 
I might be interested in it. If you decide to sell for sure, let us know. Someone will pick it up for that price. (me hopefully)
 
Interested, Im just outside of Manchester CT, PM me your number and Ill give you a call, I work 2nd shift tho..
 
Alright i have 3 people in line for this... I'm going to look at a car tomorrow so i'll keep you up to date.
 
damn!!! i'll send ya paypal and have my brother in law keep it in his driveway till i can go get it , he lives in enfield! if i still lived in agawam i would have been there the day you posted this!
 
Somebody give me an update of this? Was it a local sell? Part out? What the F is going on???
 
Sorry guys... a good friend of mine decided he would take it. Its going out this weekend. Thanks for all the mark viii help over the years!
 
dude y post if your intentions when not for a mark viii ownere like all of us that knows about these car? ...
 
I actually listened to the Cheap Trick song while reading all these posts :p


I kind of agree with K.Kid, but then again, it was the easiest way for him to sell it, and get it gone, rather than someone planning a trip and whatnot, then they could possibly turn around after seeing it and not even want it ya know lol
 
yea... my friend had been pondering it.. and finally cracked. He offered the cash right there, and i needed it out before my landlord killed me.
 
Many other ppl like me would have been all over this car had you decided to tell us you were actually ready to get rid of it. the guys on here are serious about these cars and dont joke around when they say the want something. I understand you have to do what you have to sometimes but maybe take in some conisderation for the ppl on this site you posted it with...Hell I would have sent you the money from afghanistan and let my cousin on here go get it if he wanted it. Anyways congrats on the sale
