For only $1700? Speical deal from friend/family? Thats a pretty good deal. Just a little old but not really.

Yeah that is a good deal! Nice find.

 

[markdifferent]

no, ebay, which is why i was a bit nervous at first

Nice find! For $1700, you can't go wrong. Just to be safe, did you run a carfax on it to make sure everything checks out?

 

[markdifferent]

yes i did a carfax and everything was great, they even gave me a year buy back so i guess thats good lol

 

[NViejeP]

Wow you got a steal.

Great find!!

Suggestion -- go ahead and do all the normal preventive maintenance -- oil, fluids, etc. , check brakes. Just to prevent problems in the near future.

You might also ask the former owner if they have maintenance records they will send you. Never hurts to ask.

i plan to chance the oil, plugs, wires, and change the tranny fluid. after reading i have found it might be better to drain the tranny fluid vs flushing the tranny.any ideas wouldbe great. also i think there should be a fliter i would want to change there. other then that it should be good to go, fairly new tires, and new inspection sticker.
