    Hello, I am located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

    Engine has 200,000 km

    Maintenance:

    -Aircared
    -wheel alignment, car drives straight
    -all fluids are new
    -regular oil changes were done


    Replaced:

    engine (same engine swap 3s-ge) engine runs strong compression was checked all good
    -power steering pump
    -power steering hose
    -timing belt
    -alternator
    -starter
    -thermostat
    -02 sensors
    -fuel injector o-rings
    -distributor
    -intake manifold gasket
    -temperature sensor
    -negative battery clamp
    -clutch master cylinder
    -igniter
    -distributor cap/wires
    -spark plugs

    Other: some other parts which I replaced include
    -driver side window motor
    -both tie rod ends
    -front right caliper seized so it was replaced, have extra front left caliper.
    -all brake pads and brake discs replaced fronts at 95 percent and rears at 70 to 80 percent
    -driver side cv axle brand new
    -trunk lift supports
    -trunk weather rubber lining
    -trunk cable
    -horn fuse

    Body: The car has a two-tone thats rare but I can say the rear quarter panels were painted before, barely noticeable unless you look closely.

    -driver side rear quarter panel has the tiniest of bubbles, body work was done on the bottom edge
    -passenger side rear quater panel has no rust over the wheel wells, body work was also done on the bottom edge
    -no front or rear bumper damage
    -no dings
    -the edges from the moonroof had work done to remove forming rust
    -rust converter was sprayed from the inside of the rear quarter panels

    Overall the body is in very good shape for its age. I had no accidents with the car. Paint is far from faded and I have polished and waxed this car and washed it weekly to keep the body looking good. Especially in summer it shines.


    The few bad: Well for its age it has a few bad

    -cold/hot lever does not not operate, I change the hot and cold by putting my hand underneath the middle of the dash and manually moving the lever (was like this when I got the car) the car blow both hot and cold
    -if you heat the car up and wait till it reaches a certain temp, for about the 30 seconds the idle fluctuates for between 750 and 1200 rpm then settles down to 750-800 rpm. After the car drives great, no engine light, no hesitation, no delay in power, no engine overheating. This only happens when you start the car the next morning
    -small bubbles on driver side quarter panel

    Well believe it or not those are the only things that are bad, but I see them as minor issues.


    Extra parts:

    -T-vis intake plus wiring
    -injectors
    -auxilariy air valve
    -front left brake caliper
    -throttle body with tps
    -6 oil filters ac delco

    I hate to see it go, but I only need one car and don't want this car to sit out and not be driven. Also I will use the funds toward my school.
    The car is on steel rims with tires. It had FRD 17'' rims with p205/40r17 tires which were removed but I do have the rims. If you want the rims we can arrange for them to be included with the car and you would just need to buy the tires. Great first car or for you project car
