1996 Aurora (autobahn) - looking for new home
78,400 original miles - estimate 75% highway. 1 Family owned (was spouse’s Dad purchase at 80. He was an Olds guy)
Love this car, but paint is (has) failing. If had the spare garage space and the passion of youth, I'd spend the 7-8K for a complete professional respray.
Good news
Know issues:
Paint has failed (except on passenger door and front fender which was replayed a few years ago when someone tried to steal the mirror)
Traction control & ABS lights on (suspect crusty or broken wire have spare ABS module)
Washer pump inoperable (have not attempted to diagnose but all other stalk functions work)
Right rear tire has slow leak (new … suspect bad seal on rim), front tire should be replaced
Minor oil drips … suspect front seal)

I am looking for someone who wants THIS car. If you are NOT a collector or enthusiast, it is cheaper and less hassle for me to sell locally or donate. $2500 (mid Atlantic)
Engine, tranny brakes all in excellent condition. Fluids maintained carefully, new master cylinder. Rear main seal was replaced. Have set of Factory Service manuals
