for those who are unforitante to get a car that looks like a grimlon got ahold of it. and random knobs and switches don't work or kinda work. this is a simular story. i bought this car off crags list and it had a endless list of eletrical issues. however even with 197k miles it runs very smooth! so i couldn't pass up the buy. considering electrical is far easier to work with then mechanical issues. (and cleaner!) Problems: frount bumper cracked frount grill missing. flew off when i stopped at a stop sign rad-fan didn't work. had to bypass the "system" wipers didn't work. had to bypass the "system" internal heating/cooling fan didn't work "broken connector, re-connecting with toggle switch because it stays on even when the car isn't running, the wire from the battery doesn't go to any type of relay. stereo system that came with the car. was crap. the AM/FM couldn't revive stations more then a mile away, the CD player in it would skip if you run over a pea. replaced with a Dual USB/SD reader MP3 player however the last owner didn't use a wiring harness and spliced the wires... rattling. god the rattling. every peace of plastic on this thing vibrates relentlessness and noisy! not the biggest of issues tho UPDATE------- This car is dead! one winter day. i decided to be stupid and drive in shotty road conditions. and payed the price. thankfully not my life. a vehicle coming at me too far on my side of the road forced me to move too far off the road to avoid the accident. and was unable to recover. leading to me going into a ditch and lodging my engine on a rock distorting the tranny bell housing and mangling up the support bars that the engine itself was mounted to. needless to say. the amount of money that would of been needed to fix it would of exceeded its value. so i got another car. kinda glad. the only pro about this car was its MPG and the custom stereo system i installed.
