'89 Black Coupe, will take best offer!

I would not be selling this car if I didn’t have to! Unfortunately, it came down to a choice between college and the car.

There are some cosmetic issues, and a couple of little things that don't work but would be easy to fix--like the lock on the glove compartment, for example.

Contact me at 515-865-8123 or email me at veggie1@gmail.com if you want more info. I may be able to get you pictures, although I don't have any right now.

We're hoping for $2500, but make an offer!

In General, what items need attention? All easy to fix! I just haven't gotten around to them. The cigarette lighter needs a fuse. The latch on the gas tank isn't latching. The lock on the glove compartment needs to be replaced, so the glove compartment does not close. The exterior lock on the trunk also needs replacing, but it opens fine with the button.

My Reatta Drives: Excellent! Never a problem, outshines my friends new convertibles by a mile.

I am the 3rd owner of this Reatta.

I have owned this Reatta for 2 years as of mid-December.

Thanks, all!
