Well, that time finally came. My 25 year odyssey with my Beretta comes to an end. It was a hard decision but it's one I had to make. Life events have pushed me to let go of her while I still can. Nothing negative, it's just that I need to make changes. I'm letting you guys have the first crack at it if you want her.

VIN: 1G1LV11W9JE248638
Price: $500 OBO (Negotiations welcome)
Miles: 258,000 approx.

The good:
Structurally sound (as sound as a 25 y/o Beretta can be)
Eibach springs all around (10,000 miles about)
KYB Gas-a-Just rear shocks (10,000 miles about)
KYB GR-2 front struts (less than 1000 miles)
newly installed 3.1L V6 with 75,000 miles and 3-speed.
Digi-dash works perfectly.

The bad:
paint not as good as it used to be, but a good buff will make it nice again.
Not in running condition at the moment. I was told by the mechanic that I may need a new oil pump and oil filter seal. It's leaking ALOT of oil so it's dry at the moment. It has not been run without oil. It was immediately shut off after the leak started, so the engine should be fine.
Interior mismatched colors but all parts there.
Needs front brakes. Rears should still be good.
UPDATE: It appears that it's the oil pressure regulator that's busted and it's blowing my oil gaskets all over the place. I'm sure it's an easy fix for you guys.

PM me for any questions. I'll have pics back up soon after I get the car back to my place. No delivery, pickup only
You guys know my car well and what has gone into it, so she's in relatively good shape for her age.

Pick up ASAP or will be sending to the junker. I'm giving you guys this chance for her to go to a good home. Like I said, minor repairs are needed to get her running strong again. Let me know. Thanks.

:burn:

If noone buys it, you may want to see if anyone wants parts off it, I am sure you took good care of her and a solid good working digi dash and stuff like that may be useful to many, I am sorry to hear you are getting rid of her. Best of luck with whatever you choose for the future.

I'm not willing to part out, unfortunately. I don't have the time or space to disassemble the car. If I were still living at my parent's place (they have a backyard and garage and all) then yeah, but at my apartment I don't have working space.

I'm intrigued by this. How much did they quote the repairs at?
(not saying i will, but if i do buy it, car has to run for me to drive back to illinois)

like i said its a fleeting impulsive thought, reality will set in soon enough-

Dude, the part is $25, and would take 5 minutes to change.

I wish I had more money in my savings, I'd fly out and drive the bish home...

Sadness. :( I bet she's clean on t3h bottom.

Oh, I know it is. But like I said, in L.A., I don't have a big place or garage to work on it.

Sadly though, she's not as clean as she used to be a few years back. Daily driving has taken it's toll on the paint but, like I said, I think a good buff will bring some of that old beauty back.
