Things of note:1 - Carpet has a couple spots that could use some clean up. Not bad.2 - There is a small area about 1/2 the size of your pinky nail that had some paint touch up done on the back of the rear quarter panel bottom edge that can be seen IF you search for it. It could be done better3) The drivers side rear view mirror could use new mirror glass. It's just not perfect like the other side.4) One typical Ford leak....but just ONE. I might have it fixed before the car sells, r maybe not. But again, o big deal.5) The new stereo was installed crooked, nd the installer didn't have a choice because of the hole the builder cut into the dash. It needs to look better in it's spot in my opinion.6) The trunk leather was started and never finished. It should be finished at some point.
I am only selling to fun a business expansion. I'm really looking for a CASH sale.I will consider a trade, ut it has to have a market value of $40,000 or higher. And it HAS to be something that will sell relatively quickly.We never ever thought we would sell this car. But an opportunity has presented itself that I need to take advantage of . So, he car goes.And please, o low-ball offers. I know what I have. I know what it's worth. Please be serious and be fair.
