Ok, one of my friends offered to trade me his 1998 A4 2.8 for my 85 318i..
It has some issues that i've noticed in the days i have been driving it..
Drivers side fender is dented up from a minor accident which occurred a year ago, cars title is clear no frame damage. I have access to a body shop which could paint a new fender for me for cheap
Input shaft bearing? When the clutch is not pressed in a strange sound comes from the transmission area.. like a loud bearing spinning noise. When i press the clutch in the sound goes away.. (can i get some input on this?)
a squeaky noise is also coming from the drivers side suspension area whenever the steering wheel is turned or when i hit a bump. This just started developing.
Drivers seat is ripped up pretty good
Previous owner cracked the oil pan slightly, and it is currently sealed with JB weld
and leaks slightly..
the sunroof only tilts, does not go in.. (something stuck in the track?)
196k miles..
The good...
starts right up, runs great, sounds amazing with the magnaflow, however it drones quite a bit a low rpm
amazing cold ac
The car KBB's in fair condition at just under 4000.
Now on to my car..
currently it sits like this.. due to a strut perch failure..
The bad:
200k miles
sunroof crank is broke, have to hold the crank in the housing to open the sunroof
exhaust leak
some paint is fading
has some minor rust issues on the passenger side rear wheel well
SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Good:
Interior is mint, minus some cracks in the dash
40+ highway mpg
Engine has no leaks whatsoever
tranny is fine
Its a straight trade deal, which i was kinda surprised first, however i feel like i'm going to run into some issues, really soon.
In your honest r3v criticizing opinions, am i going to get fucked with this deal
