25 years and I'm finally giving up on the old gal, just don't have time anymore.
Asking $1. You heard that right, one dollar.
She runs great for the most part, plenty of power, turbo is great, but running super rich (16mpg) and on the hot side and I can't figure out why. Had some nasty oil leaks but I've replaced the cam seals and oil cooler lines which seems to have stemmed the flow.
If you have the time and inclination to troubleshoot the issues or even if you just want the engine and part out the rest, this is as good a deal as you're going to find for this vehicle.
Pics:
Replaced in the last 2 years
Timing Belt, tensioner, pully
Serpentine belt
Oil Cooler Lines
Intake and Exhaust cam seals
PCV system
Intake manifold gasket
Spark plugs and wires
Distributor cap and rotor
Virtually all the vacuum lines
Fuel injectors
Radiator hoses including turbo coolant lines
Tires
Battery
Front Oxygen Sensor
Parts included but haven't been installed:
Water Pump
Rear Oxygen Sensor
Recent oil and filter change
New air filter
New cabin filter
New wiper blades (front and rear)
Moon roof works
Radio works
Engine only has 161k miles on it. Runs smooth and starts easy even in sub zero temps
Brakes are good
No parasitic electrical gremlins - holds a charge for long periods of non use
Body isn't miserable but she was in a side swipe "event" so hardly pristine
Only one key and no fob
Remember, you get what you pay for. If anyone here wants her, great, otherwise she was headed for the junkyard.

I'd buy that for a dollar! (I don't have the space, just street, and I don't want to do that.)

Not even a nibble eh? Well, figured I'd give you all first dibs, will drop this on Craigs Wednesday and imagine it will go within seconds, and if not, I'll have to put her down at the local "Pick your Part"
