I purchased this car locally a few months ago with intention of fixing the couple of problems it has but I have lost interest in doing the repairs. It has a VERY bad oil leak that I believe is coming from the valve cover. Right now the car does not run because I have started to pull everything apart and have not finished the job. This would be a great car to to a 2JZ-GTE swap or repair and put back together and sell to make a profit.

Cons:
Telescoping steering wheel is inoperable (stripped gear - easy fix)
Typical worn seats and window trim is cracked
VERY bad oil leak
cd changer does not work
Engine currently does not run because I started to remove items to fix oil leak. I could hook the battery up and start it to show there is no knocking or anything.

The car has 18" ADR wheels with plenty of tread left on the tires and the timing belt was replaced not too long ago. I can't remember the mileage on the timing belt replacement but the original owner told me it wasn't too long ago. The car is red and the outside is normal for a car 12 years old. The car had the rear bumper repainted but not replaced so you can see a little over spray but nothing bad. The front fascia has chips in the paint but nothing that is out of the norm. I am located in Round Rock and you can come by and look at the car whenever. Please no tire kickers. With minimal effort this car can be fixed and worth 5500+. If someone is really interested but they want the car fixed, let me know and I can see if we can work something out but I would rather sell it AS IS and be done with it. Registration is good until 06/07 but inspection is out. I have the title in hand but I never got the title transfered into my name when I purchased the car. The title is clear and free, it will just take about two weeks longer to get the title transfered to the buyer because I didn't transfer it into my name when I purchased it.

Also if buyers need any references, I can get them but I would prefer a local sale.

Can you post the picture of the engine bay where you're doing the valve cover gasket? If you just do the valve cover gasket then you just need to remove the "Y" pipe in order to replace the valve cover gaskets. It's not that hard to put it back together and get it running and you sell it at higher price.
Most of the buyers want to know about the A/C, transmission condition,clutch, and so on. Or better yet pay some shop a few hundred dollars and sell it at $5,500.00 when it is running.

Bobby,

Do you have a bill of sale from the previous owner?

firetird

I was told the A/C works but I have not checked it. I am not sure where the oil leak is coming from I was just guessing that is where the oil is leaking. I know the car drives ok. It was a daily driver for the previous owner until the oil leak and I drove it around in his street without problem. That being said, the clutch works but I don't know how many miles are on it. Oh and the car has approximately 150,000 miles on it.

I am at the point that I will probably just put the car back together and drive it if it doesn't sell soon.


Yes I do. It will not be any problem getting the title transferred, it will just take about 2 weeks longer than usual.

Are you planning on putting it in your name first? If not, that is illegal, not to mention new buyer would get stuck with the time penalties...

I am doing nothing illegal with the title and of course I am going to put my name on the title. That is why I stated it will take a couple weeks longer than usual. And about the penalties, the new buyer would pay none unless they didn't get the title transferred into their name within the allowed amount of time.

I know this car, didn't it have a blown head gasket?

firetird

How do you know this car? It does not have any symptoms of a blown head gasket.
