Purchased this car in early November. 216K on the odometer.
Interior is in pretty good shape...no cracks in the dash, no tears in the seats, all lights functioning. Exterior could use some new paint. It has a replacement panel on the driver's side and the paint job was pretty lousy as it seems to have chips from every stone that hit it. Also, all the painted plastic pieces (spoiler, mirrors, air dam) are pretty well faded.
Timing belt was changed at 188K, so I don't need to worry about that for awhile. Compression checked out at 130 in each cylinder. Not sure if I will go down the swap path or have it rebuilt/replaced. Will make that decision when the time comes. Suspension is toast and needs to be upgraded & lowered. Right now, I am concentrating on getting the car baselined. Putting in new plugs, fuel filter, air filter, tranny and diff fluids, brake fluid, coolant, etc. Once I complete that, I will be better able to determine what items need to addressed immediately.
Pics are borrowed from the previous owner's ad. It's much cleaner now. Once it stops raining, I will get some updated shots on here.
