NC-car-guy Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 6 hours ago, The 55er said: No windshield wipers, missing some trim. Those wipers were the safety features referenced in the ad. ha ha ha But seriously, did they not have these concerns before buying it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 A great first car for someone's daughter. But I'm thinking she had her mind set on something a little bit smaller, somewhat more economical to drive, (gas is still $5 a gallon in CA) and certainly in a different color. One thing on the plus side however, this vehicle would be perfect for teaching her how to parallel park. She would be qualified to parallel park about anything after honing her skills on this Electra. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhach Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 It always baffles me when people go to such lengths to present a clean car and then they pop the hood and it looks like a dumpster. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Obvious repaint and missing a LOT of trim, underhood appearance make me wonder what else is underneath. Was an Electra 4D sedan a common model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 The engine bay photo looks like it came from a different car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgwarhawk Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) A lot of red flags. No wipers Who buys a car for their kid with no wipers? The vent levers on the dash have been rigged. At least the passenger side lever. Missing trim. Engine bay appears to have just completed a 500 mile desert run. Has electric windows and A/C and appear original to the car So.....
