So, If the car isn't sold by the time I wake up tomorrow, I'm gonna take a long ride to look at a pretty clean vr4
The woman that owns it told me this
It has between 140 and 150k miles (I think it was 144 something)
it is her late husbands car, when he died in 2010 she held on to it.
She said she started it couple times a month, moved it around, etc.
The inside is clean, has a wear spot on the drivers bolster (what older cars dont... )
Outside as well, I didn't see any rust in the pics.
She said her husband was a mechanic. The pics of the engine bay are really clean, Air box is stock. I couldn't tell about the exhaust.
Apparently everything works great.
My plans for such a vehicle would be restore the suspension, get some better looking wheels, DD and Auto-x stock class. So im not so much worried about the bushings being shot..
What I would like to know is if the turbo seals could have gone bad. And how I could tell. I come from MR2s and VWs (aw11 with 20v and very nice stock class-ish g60 corrado)So I don't have much turbo experience outside of driving friends cars and helping them work on their stuff.. etc..
If I get the car it will need to make the 4.5 - 5 hour ride back to my house. As clean as it is, I'd like to think it is in solid shape.
I'd also like to know what else could be wrong from sitting. She assured me it had sat in a drive way, but the pics she sent were in her back yard.
