very nice upgraded stereo system featuring a Kenwood am/fm/cd w/ipod/usb/aux inputs (approx $1500) - rockford fosgate components, amp, and sub are installed in factory locations. This is an audiophile system and not a big street boomer (I'm 37 yrs old). factory cassette and speakers included

Every single car I have owned since 16 has been a chain spanning Nissan, Ford, Mercury, GMC, and Toyota. Until the Beetle of course but after owning one and seeing how it is designed I can see why. They produced a cheap car.

On topic, asking people to send in offers will not net anything solid. Just post a price and say negotiable as you will get far better results.

EDIT: Nevermind, just realized this ad is months old.

Completely off topic, but way old FS so what the hell!

No, it's a rubber composite. As said, a thirteen year old rubber band. I have never replaced a timing chain in any vehicle, several over 400k miles. Let alone a water pump with plastic impellars. Go figure...

Btw, it is a damn nice '98! Especially if your looking for experimental everything.
