Yes, i bought from an auction as a repossession. So far everything sounds good but my friend/mechanic will be taking a look at it over the weekend. Until then it stays parked. I'll definitely look into finding a replacement part for the ignition. I'd hate to be stranded in the Texas heat trying to leave work lol.


At first glance the key appeared slightly bent but its not, I'll make sure not to apply too much pressure when turning the ignition. I notice pushing the key back towards the dash then turning allows it to turn smoothly.

Thanks! I originally tried to get two copies. The locksmith suggested one key just to see if it turned... Once the I change one of the tires I'll go back up there and grab more copies. I look forward to getting her on the road finally

Yes at first I was pushing the key in to turn the ignition but it wasn't moving. When I jiggled the key gently while pushing it towards the dash it was able to turn without the key having to be pushed all the way in.

No worries, no question is a silly question to me when it pertains to understanding these vehicles lol.
