How much does he want for it?

 

[lucid15]

Im offering 3000 today. he wants 3500 OBO

 

[lucid15]

reasonable?

 

[lucid15]

Just got back from test driving the car again.. He says the AC barely works and needs some kind of part(forgot the name) costs like $150?. But who know if that's true. Also the ABS light is on he says its from his mom backing into him severing a wire or something. ANd also, when you give it some gas and let off theres a kind of fluttering. My friend says its just the Wastegate, i know its not Turbo surge because last week it was doing that and he installed a MBC which appearead to fix it. Any thoughts on all this?

Great deal, all you need is a few pipes and an air filter.

 

[ClevelandDSM]

There had to be alot of things untested without pipes on the car. Did you hear or drive the car previous to the pipes being missing?

If it ends up just being a couple missing pipes and a few odds and ends, yeah thats a realy nice deal. Depending on millage and condition.

 

[zack420aspeeder]

heard it run for about 5 mins till it dead cause of no pipes and it only has 130k on it which is not that bad i think and the turbo has no shaft play at all the only bad thing that i can see it the clear coat is worn badly

 

[zack420aspeeder]

will post pictures in about 5 mins cause i have to go take them

 

[ClevelandDSM]

If all thats wrong is a few pipes and clear coat you found a winner.

Oh gawddddddd, you need new IC pipes for sure. They ghetto rigged that shit. That piping off the TB will not hold any pressure at all. Get some stock ones for now and clean that bay before it starts to rust. Pressure washer!

 

[red_devil]

Whats up with the intake why does it look like that?, is that a n/a tb on there?

 

[zack420aspeeder]

yeah i need to get on that but does any one know what degree the pipes are and is it easyier to use the maf tanslator and a gm maf sensor

 

[zack420aspeeder]

its turbo but it was rigged very wrong and the pipes were stolen twice off of it before i got it

 

[JFatch1890]

Yeah defiantly get rid of that rig,And ^^^ clean the bay up like 19TSI95AWD said,Degrease everything,Get that valve cover repainted or something!! But that's on non sense stuff that's easy,Get the car running and do a regular maintenance check,If everything checks out and there the only few probs you have then you got a deal

 

[dsm03]

Damnn.. Why would anyone need to cut the intake pipe off like that, Must have been on drugs. Otherwise Car looks fairly good but for 1400 bucks good find! Yeah and I second on the engine bay clean get it shampooed, and steamed clean.

 

[zack420aspeeder]

yeah i will clean it as soon as i can get it any where
