I have no idea why it's on craigslist here.  I seem to remember seeing this one come up previously.

Edit to add: NOT MINE!

Saw the ad.  Laughed at the price.  Drooled at the car...

Well, it'll sell, or not.  If it doesn't sell, the price was too high.  Probably a better chance of a sale if posted in the area where it is.

It's been out there for nearly a year. Still in Euharlee. Still asking the same price.
He's got a long list of stuff that was replaced. Kind of surprising for a low mile car. But perhaps not...

If you're dropping the cradle, you may as well do whatever you have to so you won't ever have to drop the cradle again.  I'm not a mechanic, in case that isn't obvious.

My Fiero has under 60K on the clock.  No leaks, but while the cradle is out, it will get new gaskets, new water pump, new oil pump, new fuel pump, new brake lines and hoses, new AC compressor, new alternator, new cat, and new muffler.

Rarews66 has some low-mileage cars that I think he has/had to rebuild.  My experience is that, if it's been setting, the fluids need to be replaced and the rubber anything needs to be replaced.
