Hey guys- I know this car isn't a beauty queen or a blast to drive, but I am selling it for my ill father. Anyone who is in the W Mass area and is a GRM person, I would sell the car for around a grand.
Super cheap to run and reliable over the years. Thanks!

I am interested, I have a friend who needs a more reliable car for not a lot of $$ and this looks very nice. I am down in CT, but have a very booked weekend. I am free Monday night to swing out, if that is ok with you. shoot me an e-mail borf42 at hotmail dot com and maybe we can work something out.
Thanks,
Nate

Yeah, I noticed that. I was kinda hoping that it was an accidental flag, since he is also selling it here...

In reply to borf42:
I don't know why these idiots have flagged the ad twice now! My poor dad just died and I am trying to help my mom.
I have someone coming for a second time this morning. If they don't take it, I will repost on CL and note it here as well.
I live down in Norwalk, CT and could take the car with me home if need be. I don't know where your friend is Nate.

We'll be coming from Manchester, which is about 10 minutes north of Hartford, but the distance isn't too much of a concern for me. Keep me posted. Good luck on the sale regardless. I have no idea why some people on CL flag legit ads. When I was trying to sell my T-Bird a few years ago, I even got people posting an ad against my car. I guess the trolls are just bored. Who knows. Regardless, my buddy is interested.
Thanks,
Nate

Barring any mix ups, the car is being picked up on Sunday. Thanks- Cory
Dang it!!! I can see why it was flagged did you look around at what these are selling for? Great looking little car. Now I am going to have to go read up on these. Kind of an unknown sleeper. I am assuming it is really a mazda what are the mod potential for one of these?
Closer to Contour/Mondeo than Mazda.

The car did officially sell yesterday.
The 4cyl was not particularly energetic. I would imagine the 6 cyl car would have been much more entertaining. The car had probably the hardest set of seats that I have ever sat in.
The interior was ok, but it was unnecessarily fussy. The car held up well and was very practical with the hatch. He traded a 93 probe gt for this cougar so it was a big let down fun-wise.
