Hey, I am very interested let me pass this on to my dad. We are thinking about rebuilding my brothers car after the accident but this might be a better idea. You have a PM

Any Rust?

[singletonj]

The vehicle has no rust. Minor scratches and dings on select parts of the body.

I had the wheels aligned last august.

Most of the repair work done over the past few years was completed by my brother and I, so there aren't many receipts of repair records.

How about the timing belt?

i just sent you an e-mail i saw it on craigslist, what the rust situation?

[singletonj]

These are some answers to questions that many people are asking.

Is the engine in good shape?
I would say it is in pretty good shape for 196K it has some minor oil leaks but that is it. I haven't done a compression test because it runs strong and doesn't consume fluids. There is a leak in the hose that runs from the reservoir to the radiator that would need to be replaced.

Does it burn oil?
No

Rust or rust through?
No

What condition is the suspension in?
The suspension doesn't creak, rattle, or make any noise. The car tracks straight on the road and doesn't wander. The tire wear is even. Other than that it may need ball joints/tie rods/shocks/struts depending on what the intended use is. After all the car has almost 200K on it.

It had regular oil changes.

My brother might have done some work on the timing belt before I acquired it from him 3 years ago, but nothing as of lately.
