sort of a repost, for the new price. I’d just like to see this gone.
I just made it back from NYC. this thing made to and fro without a hiccup. it needs a bit of work to pass inspection, but nothing severe (no more than $150?). seems to be reliable, as the last 850 miles in the past three days have implied. I’m going to be getting the new ride this week, most likely between Tuesday and Friday, so I’d like this out of my driveway then.
the good:
104kish
V6 (I guess whether that’s good or not is up to you, actually.)
starts fine
shifts great
gets you from point a to point b
great in snow
heat works great!
relatively new (within the last year) fuel pump, exhaust, wheel bearings (can’t recall which ones), battery
power windows work (slowly but fast enough to be functional)
power locks work
power seats work great
cruise works excellent
interior is relatively clean
it’s so ugly no one will ever steal your shit
the bad:
needs: brake lines, PCM, tires, front right blinker, gas tank leaks if it’s full, brake fluid cap
leaks oil, maybe a quart every 2 weeks to a month
got some dents/scratches/rust/rot
it dislikes the cold, especially when starting; it always starts but takes a few minutes to get turning well…I’m sure it could use a good tune up
idles pretty rough at first
speedo/stereo cheap plastic molding surround has been ripped out because standard head units don’t fit with it in
well, Mr. speedped is offering the same but he’s willing to pick it up, and I’m going to need cash in hand real soon, so unfortunately I’m going to have to go with that.
the beretta is going to the junkyard later today i took the gas and radio from it and held it wot(6200) rpm for a good 5 min to the point of it pouring smoke so i need a winter ride
