Good morning! Has anyone had a chance to take a look at this car on mbmarket? Would love any thoughts as I’m considering bidding and it would be my first time with one of these cars. Thanks in advance!

Those headlight lenses looks to be for Left Hand Traffic (as opposed to RHT which is what the USA practices).

SOLD… $49,380+whatever... that's actually probably a fair number.

I was miamicollector [second highest bidder]. I actually drove and looked at the car. Super nice seller. ODO is not working. I ordered an auto check from Japan 2 days before. confirms that ODO was working before coming to USA and car was not in any accident there.. It sat in California for 1 year he could not register it and then moved to Florida and brought car here and registrededl. maybe covid , maybe smog why he could not register it in California.

Car looks much much better in pics. Paint is faded sitting in the sun for too long. Car had a weird noise coming from the middle around the exhaust when it starts, 3 cling cling . I put my mechanic on seems its the secondary air injection pump or the smog pump. car clean underneath. obviously there is an issue with the headlight. Interior lots of pieces cracked and no service records. . Seats in v good condition .

Its a project. I was willing to do it because its close by me I save on shipping . Pushed myself to do 48880 and that was not very reasonable . Car has definitely potential .

The hunt is still on....
