2000 Citrus in Bowling green

[Calpod]

There is a 2000 citrus at a dealer in Bowling Green KY, it was listed in Autotrader, I called them and they said it has a bad HV battery, I went to check it out and it's in really bad shape, I started the engine and it started with the engine starter, it has the IMA and check engine lights on.
I offered the guy 1000' but he said he would not take less than 2500, it will be going to auction next week

It is at Jim Johnson Nissan, if you're interested give them a call.

Good luck with that, Jim Johnson is probably the seediest dealership in Bowling Green.

They'd rather see that car go to scrap than let anyone have a fair deal on it.

by "bad shape" do you mean physical condition, or just the battery since it started with the 12v.

Both, for starters, when you open the drivers door, the kick panel is almost off and there are a lot of wires hanging out, the steering wheel is faded really bad, this is the worst I've seen any wheel, the trim around the windshield is cracked, same as the window trim, the hatch only opens with the key and the paint has faded really bad, also has a lot of scratches

The good: It has cruise control and new tires (pirellis)

It would need a paint job, some body work interior work and a new battery, also the water pump was noisy, sounds like a bearing noise close to the water pump.

The Pirellis are actually a bad not a good.

THEFORCE has a good engine for sale and he's at the Kentucky border.

It sounds like you could buy it and fix it up (with a BetterBattery) for $6000 or so. Citrus cars are worth $8000 - $9000.

Car is gone and everyone there claims it was never there. My dad went there in person.

Hate that dealership.
