Great 242 For Sale in LA, California 200

I was looking into this car and chatted with the owner (a very nice lady who used it to commute). The car appears to be very well cared for and in very good condition. It appears to have been repainted green at some point, but the paint appears good from the pictures. I have to pass on the car because I need AC in my daily commuter, but I thought someone might want to jump on this... it seems like a good deal.

What I have gathered from talking with the owner:
- The car is not yet smogged (she is going to do it this week).
- The car is a 4spd manual
- Had the timing belt done in 2000 along with the following: "drive belts were replaced, spark plugs, fuel and air filters, injector seals, ignition
cables and wires, steam clean engine, replaced headlight switch along with other gaskets, etc."
- No AC
- The odometer is finicky and is not accurate
- She only drove the car short distances (10-15 minute commute).

She was very helpful in answering questions, so I let her know I would post up here, as the car is not for me. Please understand I have not seen this car nor do I have any knowledge of the car other than what has been presented to me in the ad and by the owner.

I hope someone snatches up this car... it would make a great resto project!
