The check list is from the top of the Reatta forum

How does it work to sell a Reatta? Most people have not heard of the car. I am not looking for a lot money, but it is still really a good looking car and sporty. Is there anywhere else that you might know of that I can post to?

Thanks,

Nina

I live close by the car so I went to see it Saturday. It is a very well taken care of Reatta. New paint is good and other than the paint is is all origional and fairly decent. Brake booster dont work and the typical bad serpentine belt adjuster bearing is all that I could see needed to put this car back in motion. AC has been converted to 134a but needs a shot to make is good and cold again.
