First of all, I'd like to thank everyone on this message board for all your help and guidance throughout the time I've owned my Third Gen. I've never seen a more knowledgable and helpful auto forum, for any car. Thanks guys!
Now for my problem. I bought my Formula a few years back to fix it up & learn more about cars. Within the past year or so, I started to realize I don't have enough time to keep working on it & I need to get rid of it (when I got a chance to take pictures & put an ad up). Well, just recently (yesterday), my timeline got accelerated when my apartment complex told me to get rid of the car within a week or they would tow it. The car has been sitting around for about a year while I haven't had time to work on it.
I drove the car in the summers when I first got it, and it was in decent condition, but now it's not in the best shape. It's got about 130,000 miles on it, needs 1 new tire, and it won't start (I haven't had a chance to look at it, but it looks like plugs/wires). Also, the paint is fading in large parts of the car, the rear hatch motor is missing, the T-tops leak. Since this was a project in progress, most of the intererior plastic was removed (I may still have it). It was also vandalized last year - the theieves smashed my taillights & popped the lock out of the drivers side door.
As you can tell, it's not the best vehicle on the planet. But at least I'm honest. Now here's my dilemma - I only have a week to get it off the property, or the cops will impound it. Any suggestions/potential buyers? I'll get pictures tomorrow, and I'll be checking this board most of the day for the next week.

The car's in Broadview Heights, off Royalton Road. I'm not sure how much I'm lookin to get out of it, so I'm up for any reasonable suggestions. Keep in mind, it doesn't start so would probably need to be towed. I'll try to get pictures tonight - I couldn't yesterday because I didn't get home from work until it got dark out. I'm also going to talk to my rental office tomorrow to see if i can negotiate keeping the car in the lot a week or 2 longer, so I can at least get it to start. Just let me know what you think.
Here's a little bit of an update - the car is still ready to be sold & it still won't start. It sounds like the engine tries to turn over & can't - I'm checking the air intake tomorrow. I've attached pictures, a list of what I've already fixed on the car (fixed.txt), a list of what needs to be repaired (broken.txt), and a list of all my RPO codes and their meanings (RPO.txt). I'm trying to be as honest as possible about this car, so let me know about anything else you'd like to know. Keep in mind that it's URGENT I get this car off the property.
I sent PM's to everyone who responded to me so far - please let me know if I've missed you.
I'll bid $350.00 From the looks of it, every panel is beat in, locks are punched, missing rim, no dash and numerous other problems. Let me know. I live up the street.
