My grandmother gave me the car when it wouldn't start and bought a new one. Originally I could start it with a screw driver by jumping the solenoid on the starter so I drove it home to fix. Well I tried the park-neutral safety switch, all the fuses, ignition switch, and a whole new starter (I couldn't buy just a solenoid, too many hardware revisions). None of these fixed the problem. I bought a new battery since the old one was drained from whatever this problem was and it's still got like a 1 year warranty at walmart.

The car has ~55k original miles, leather seats, sun roof, good tread depth, lots of paint oxidation but no rust. I'm not looking for much. If you can get haul it out yourself, the most I'd ask is a few hundred bucks. It's an automatic, blue exterior, black leather.

Are you saying that jumping the solenoid on the starter doesn't work anymore?

I'd do maybe 150. Are the seats in halfway decent shape?

What color is the paint?

sort of, I don't think the ground pole of the solenoid is exposed. Seats are in fairly good shape, a bit of cracking around the seams. Blue paint
