Well, I just got back from checking the car out. It looks almost as good in person as in pictures, there a couple small dings on the doors but nothing major. All body panels looking good, no rust, drives ok, didn't notice any problems in the 50-65mph range either. Idle is rock solid, temp right in the middle, ac is cold.
engine bay looks very clean, almost not a spot of oil anywhere, rack is clean even. cruise control and tape player don't work, cruise control cable is broken at the tb.
car does need a new headlight, or alteast a low beam lens as it's cracked. 5spd has a short shifter installed by the po ($300??) and it takes extra effort to get it into 2nd and 4th for it to stay ? Is this normal ? No grinding or anything, but it doesn't "slip" into 2nd and 4th with no effort like it does into 1st and 3rd for example, reverse is fine. No leaks at the diff either, looks clean, no noises. Full size spare in the trunk, not chromed lol. Door panels look fine, rear doors probably haven't been used all the time from how they sound after opening them.
It's on the 3rd owner, 2nd owner had it for 10 years since 80k to 180k miles and was serviced by independent local bwm shop (has the shops sticker on the glass still). Although current owner does not have the records (he said the po didn't give them away with the car although he looked at them). PO didn't replace the clutch, so I am concerned with that a little.
I got the VIN if anybody could check it out for me?
