Just got an immaculate 94 SR5....what to do?!

[ScarletSR5]

Like the title says, a 1994 V6, 4WD, immaculate! This man bought it in 1994, brand new, to add to his other 11 cars and NEVER drove it. Well, total it has 670 miles. Long story short....i have her now, and am wondering what to do.

It's a deep crimson red. My only plans so far are to tint the windows, intake, exhaust, etc to give me 2-3 more mpg. So i'm asking for any ideas on things to do. Just input.

wow, that's amazing to see one with that low of mileage. it should be legit, and i'm sure you checked for odometer fraud..

umm... but it is ten years old, and if it really only has soo much mileage, i would change fluids right away if not already done so.. i.e. oil, might be a good idea to siphon the gas and refill with new, also with the transmission fluid, and other fluids..

oh, and take pictures..

Not to burst your bubble, but a ten year old car with 670 miles will need far more than a fluid change......... the seals have not even had enough mileage to seat properly..............

YMMV

He never drove it.. but did he at least START it? I agree w/ replacing the fluids... change them all... oil, radiator, transmission, brake fluid... Give all the rubber under the hood a once over too... check for cracked or aged hoses and belts... probably needs new wiper blades too...

you'll want to do a complete tune up and expect to spend abit of $$. All fluids definitely need to be flushed and i'd change all the hoses at the same time. (any of them that are nice and hard are a sign of bad times)

i wouldn't worry about the seals as you'll still just be breaking them in. Have the mechanic do a full tune up for better longevity.

looks like you scored a good one baby and it'll last for decades!

it was completely taken care of. new battery, alternator, tires (just fresh ones haha), and it was sent to the detailers also.

should be completely legit. :
