I have recently put over $5000.00 into major repairs on my car. I have all the receipts for the work that was done. New A/C system from R12 to R134a, Complete new fuel system, New Timing Chain, Newer tranny and brakes, new AUX cooling fan 165,000 Miles, Black original paint in good condition with a few light scratches and a few pebble chips on the hood. The interior is leather and in fair condition. There are some cracks on the dash and a small tear on the arm rest where your elbow rest. The passengers seat is good but the drivers side has a few splits along the seams in the seat area. But the seat back is good. And headrest are good. All just normal wear and tear on a convertible that is 25 years old. I am the 3rd owner. I bought it from a friend who bought it from his boss who bought it new. The original sticker is in the glove box. The car was always garage kept until recently. It has a AM/FM Cassette Player with a cd changer in the trunk. It has both the hard top and the soft top. The soft top is in good condition. The rear plastic window has a little sunburn but can still see out. The 3 things that I can think of that are wrong with the car is that the previous owner removed the vanity mirrors on the visors for whatever reason I don't know. Also the drivers side handle on the exterior is slightly loose but not bad and it works fine. And the trunk latch needs to be adjusted. it works fine but sometimes if you it a bump hard enough it will pop open. Other than that the car for its age is in really good shape. I bought this car as a fun car to drive around town in with the top down. Found it needed all the repairs that I have done to it. I had the repairs down and it has just sat in my driveway since. I have a truck that I drive all the time and never drive the car. And I would like to sell the car and recoup my money. In short I need the money more than the car. It's a great car now I just don't need it. If you have any questions please ask me. Thank you and good luck bidding.

Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
