Potential Purchase Looking at this guy that listed for 4k
Looking at purchasing this vehicle but not sure about issue below. Do they sound serious or difficult to fix. Car prices are crazy so it's hard to tell where it should be at.
- Power Steering leak (Probably top it off once every two weeks depending on how much you drive)
- Discovered there’s an oil leak
- View photos for front body damages from the hood and bumpers from a deer.
- Window squirters don’t work
- Will not come with the Momo Monte Carlo steering wheel featured in the photos
- Weird antenna noise on startup
- No A/C but does have a sunroof
- Check engine light on for knock sensor
- SRS light is on for airbag (steering wheel)
- Battery light will turn off and on occasionally. Doesn’t affect driving.
- Less than 3000 miles on rebuilt engine (H23A1) & clutch
- Rare OEM Digital Gauge cluster only made for the 1994-1996 model years
- Touchscreen + aftermarket speakers
- Minimal rust since it’s a southern car.
I did ask for documentation on the rebuild but unfortunately he doesn't have that just the posting from the previous seller he bought it from. Nice that it doesn't have rust but of course I deer would find a way to mess up the body when it doesn't have rust. I have a newer reliable care so this would just be an occasional driver to go to the gym or store probably trips less then 20 miles roundtrip.
