After trolling this site as a guest for weeks and weeks, I just bought a black and silver 2001 for my daughter who turns 16 in a few months.
It has 150,000 miles but appears to have been well cared for. I am not particularly good at mechanical stuff but have gained some confidence while reading several posts on this forum. The issues I see currently are:
1) Keyless entry is not locking the doors-unlock works and the back window will roll down but it won't lock. Anyone seen this?
2) Power antenna doesn't go up- instead it makes noise while sitting still. Is there a short rubber type antenna I could somewhat easily replace it with?
3) Engine is really dirty (what do I need to cover up before rinsing it and what should I use to get it clean?
So far the leather seats have no tears. Does anyone know of a good conditioner I should put on them in an effort to prolong the life of the leather?
Thanks in advance.
