Parting with old faithful as we have unfortunately moved onto a minivan. In the five years that we have owned this car she has never let us down a single time, including a 4000km roundtrip to the east coast last summer. So, here's the details:
The Good:
B230FT - turbo spools up nicely and pulls strong
Absolutely no oil leaks
New water pump as well as upper and lower rad hoses
New exhaust installed last summer
Newer O2 sensor
Newer engine/transmission mounts
Original hard to find 16" Hydra rims with decent rubber (two extra tires not on rims as well as two snow tires on 15" rims)
Passed last e-test with flying colours (have paperwork for viewing but it is no longer valid)
Solid almost rust free body - car spent a great deal of time out west and was undercoated here in Ontario
All glass is clean and crack free
All lights and signals operational
All power windows, locks and sunroof operational
Religious oil changes and regular maintenance including coolant and transmission oil flushes
The Bad
Speedo/odometer only works intermittently (usually only after a long drive) current mileage is an estimate - from troubleshooting it looks like it is the rear sending unit
Modified OD solenoid
Small exhaust leak behind cat (could easily be welded up)
One small bit of rust on drivers quarter panel/door
No radio
No A/C - previous owner disconnected the compressor as one line was corroded through, compressor is seized beyond recovery but condenser is in decent shape
Power steering pump is weak but still works - steering is a bit tight
Rear wiper arm is broken
The Ugly
Trim on passenger side has fallen off - have both pieces but some of the catches are damaged
Headliner has been removed because I was tired of it flapping in the breeze
If you're interested I am certainly open to offers as she is now surplus and I would like the room in the driveway. Be reasonable though because I am not adverse to break her myself and selling the parts for at least as much as my current asking price. If you're interested in specific parts let me know and I will entertain individual offers. Email or PM for additional details or pictures. Thanks for looking.
