Toyota Corolla alltrac station wagon 146,000 miles, auto, broken gas line.

Vehicle Description

Hi there.
I'm offering my Corolla for $950 OBO.
It's listed locally as well, so I reserve the right to remove this listing if it sells locally or someone offers to trade me for a running 500cc motorcycle... :)
I owned this car for a year, sold it to a friend who drove it for close to a year, and then bought it back. Shortly after I bought it back, both the exhaust and a gas line broke due to rust. Otherwise the car runs and drives great. The prior owner invested a lot into this car. It's an auto with 146,000 miles.
I have felt a very slight pulsation in the brakes lately.
Loses 1/4 quart of oil between changes (every 3,000 miles).
(I'm trying to mention anything I can think of, since the gas has dripped out and I can't really allow a test drive).
Before the gas leak started (I think, or maybe it was the very first little sign), I saw a few drops of some liquid under the front of the car after it had been parked for a week in one spot. It had a reddish tint to it. I have been checking all fluid levels regularly, and other than the oil dropping by 1/4 in 3,000 miles (and a lot of those on the expressway), everything was always right at the line every time I checked.
My step dad and I are going to attempt to fix this gas line this weekend. If we're successful, I'll likely take it off the market. I just can't afford to take it in to a shop for that work right now (I've had a lot of unexpected expenses lately, am working on paying off debt, and live biking distance to work, so I can go without a car for a little while).
Thanks for looking.
