First off, I appreciate everyone's input! Especially LS Cowboy! Thanks.

Had the black car checked out by a mechanic. Did some more digging; the ECU was repaired for the door locks at the dealership which work.

The accident was reported from the minor dent on the rear quarter but never repaired.

The car does have the speedo issue but a little tap fixes it, so I'll check that out, as it's only happend 3 times so far. I'll need to clean the OCV's. Everything else is great. It has new tires, new brakes, new starter.

Has almost every option except the Navi which is perfect for me. Wood trim, heated seats, suspension height adjustment, factory HIDs.

Also Aftermarket hands free bluetooth connectivity.

I'll be doing water pump and timing belt with my friends help. Either ordering through Sewell or AutohausAz (cheaper). I'll need a replacement under carriage as well. After those things are settled, it's game on from there.

Again, thank you to everyone for the welcome, support and guidance.

Probably the engine undercover, those get ripped up from the constant removal.

It's the larger piece in the middle, that would need to be removed for oil change. I hear with out it, the pressure changes in the engine bay raising temperatures, not to mention the protection it offers.

I'll get more pics up. The paint is in decent shape. There are a few door dings but I'm not concerned, as I'll be getting it repaired at my friends shop down the road.

Going to clean the OCVs both bank1 and bank2. Thinking of removing the cluster to clean the speedo needle and also put a pin to keep it above 0 mph. It's been staying at 0 more than working lately.

Cheers!
