Found a gsx. Whats up with the interior and motor?

[1995gsxawd]

Im needing to get a lower payment. I loved my old 2G. I found a 2G at a car lot. I was looking at the pictures and had some questions. Whats up with the interior? It appears the manifold has an external wastegate, what kind is it? What kind of BOV is that? It has a 95-96 front bumper on it for some reason and is missing the cap but I have to trade my car in on something. Im wondering if you guys had a few thoughts on this car or maybe you owned it. Let me know whats up Thanks guys!

Looks like a flood car to me. Those carpets scream standing water.

 

[simple jake]

Agreed. There's no way that the carpet would look like that if anyone who cared about the car drove it. Even the carpet in the rear looks bad and thats hard to get dirty when you only have two people sitting in the car most of the time.

 

[awdspyder98]

I would stay away.

 

[Rockyp]

Where's the Carfax?

 

[jw4free]

Test drive the hell out of it.

If you like it, offer them $3,500.

 

[nuclearr]

One of four things cause that on the carpet

1) sunroof drains plugged
2) Windows left down in a storm the colsed and never dried
3) Flood

Order of most likelyness

4) is fading or a combination of the above.

another 2gb with a 2ga front bumper and head lights.....

 

[1995gsxawd]

I can get a carfax for it. But i was thinking the same thing. Flood water. Still unsure about the things under the hood.

 

[Frskrgps]

Water damage has Rs seats, and a 95-96 front bumper

Agreed. Low miles at least

Yep What i was thinking. Ill see if i cant Get him down on it

 

[jw4free]

Maybe, maybe not. It's not quantity, it's quality. Motors can blow "1/4 mile at a time". (think Vin Diesel voice)

Sorry.

Sorry.

True that man. A good test drive though should be a tell all. It is burning oil and what not

 

[2gGst98]

I would test drive the S^#$ out of it, then ask for the car fax. If they cant/wont get it offer 2k to start with if it drives nice. Then see where they go after. They will probably laugh at you, but then you can laugh at them and call them out on the flood. (if it is)

 

[whyadsm]

Look like a greddy bov or NGR bov. Its a 2gb with a 2ga front bumper. Im not feeling it. Missing sideskirt end cap. The carpet is garbage. Be very careful man.. Not for the that price.

Ill offer them 2k Plus my trade in. I have a 09 Challenger rt atm. Payment to high for me at this point so i need to get rid of it. Ill make sure to point out that The original seats front bumper and whatever misc there isnt that isnt original. Im not paying 6500 if i dont have my leather!!

If its a flood car then its not worth a single dollar. You will be chasing electrical gremlins up until the time you scrap the car.

I agree 100% See if i can get it for a steal that would be nice.

As true as that may be If its cheap enough I kinda cant really pass it up Like if i can get it for 2k Ill have it paid off tax time and i wont have to deal with a car payment. As of right now Mines 470 and i just cant afford it anymore.

Flood is always a no go. Listen to the guys on here. I passed on a 5k 2g cause of was questionable and now I've got a better one

Alright I understand. Ill go look at it and ask him about the water damage. Then ill go from there. Thanks guys

 

[efrainz28]

They probably tried cleaning the carpet with some strong detergents.(maybe contained bleach) Just a thought

But if it was involved in a flood pass.

Def flood damage on the carpet.once the leather seats dried out they probably all split up,and the front bumper was destroyed when the flatbed pulled it out of the mud!

 

[Rsawd95dsm]

Stay away something better is out there just look around a little bit

 

[shockracer]

Exhaust pipe for boost pipe, hmm. I'm betting that car has had a hard life! Be careful.
