Here’s a car that was something of a joke when new, but has a quirky appeal now. Three cylinders, five-speeds and a manual drop-top? Sounds like a unique experience. Throw in the forty-four cassette tapes the seller offers and you’re good to go!
No, really, the seller says the following:
**As a bonus, we have recorded 44 cassette tapes of music to be included, along with storage cases if you want them. You can always record over them**

Steel wheels and hubcaps FTW!
Is that intimidating, or what?
Manual crank windows mean fewer electronic gizmos to fail. Red seat trim/piping is a surprising touch.
Yep…three plug wires this 1.0-liter monster! The distributor cap probably looks pretty funny – kinds of like R5/Le Car three-lug wheels.

Comments: The car is in excellent condition both inside and out and still even has the manufacturer body stickers on it. It gets 41 mpg in the city and 46 mpg on the highway. We are the third owner and non-smokers. The second owner only used the car for weekend trips. The A/C blows cold and everything works, as it should, including the factory cruise control. Windows also close as they should. We have had no problems with the engine. The transmission also shifts as it should. (Please see note below) The car has been well maintained and even the engine compartment is wiped down once a month. Anything that was missing, needed to be replaced or repaired has been done. We are fanatical about keeping cars in tip-top condition. We have scoured all the automobile sites and cannot find one this nice, including the yellow one that was very recently sold here on eBay. We are selling the car do to a new grand child on the way. We need something with a back seat. NOTE: The spoiler added additional weight to the trunk lid. The trunk will not stay open on its own but can be lifted and held with one hand because of its size. We use an expandable pole/rod to keep the trunk open when needed. It works very well and this will be left in the trunk.
You won’t find a cleaner Geo Metro with low miles! It’s sporty and and a blast to drive. Don’t forget that this is a convertible and has great gas mileage too. Don’t forget, this is a small car and therefore, very easy to park. We have taken it to San Diego and back with absolutely no problems at all. Anyone who purchases this little jewel will not be disappointed. We have had two previous offers to sell it and turned down both. Pictures do not do it justice. We wish we could keep it. We will miss it.
Acceptable forms of payment: Cash or certified cashier’s check. Personal checks will be accepted, but car and title will not be released until check clears our bank. No exceptions. Additional pictures available upon request. Serious inquiries only PLEASE! The car is for sale locally. Therefore, we reserve the right to end the auction early.
