[sorry ... no exchange.] Please contact me for more photos. $76,000 negotiable (no silly offers… thanks) Also for free, my car is 1992 Geo Tracker 4x4 Manual. [Had used for about 2 years.] The engine is very good. It was regularly maintained by a mechanic. About 2-3 new pistons were installed and other things. The local mechanic knows that it is a very good car and he has asked a few times to buy it but I prefer to give it away with the property. If you have a new RTV it would be worth about $4,000. Also, for free, very good (wood wrapped, sealed and safe) box trailer (you need new tires if you want to tow it). Previously it was used for transportation of DJ equipment.
