So yes, I have the illness... I WAS thinking about this one for myself, but there just isn't room for three Soobs in my driveway.

 

My Sis is jealous of the Lego formally known as Ceeci (man, i need to rename it), and have been searching for one for her... This ad jumped out at me and was thinking hmmm,... I'll see what everyone else thinks.

 

Too high asking price?

Would you do it?

Steering rack, is it the right diagnosis? (seems like an easy thing to pull at JY)

Two-toned... what's up with that?

seems like a pretty good deal to me if it runs ok, doesn't leak, (except the rack), no CELs and the dent in the rear isn't too bad.

 

the leak may not in be the "rack", they don't fail often. there is a chance it is the power steering fluid lines going to the rack. they have been known to get screwed up when doing an engine swap.

 

i'd try and get it for 1000$, but given what he said about the used rack, it sounds like he knows his stuff and may not deal.

 

if he will not move on the price, ask him to have it inspected. or you test drive it and have it inspected. (a cheap price to pay to see if it has major problems.)

 

i sold a car recently for my father-in-law. the would be buyer had the oil changed so he could ask the mechanic questions about the rest of the car. and he did buy it.

I'd also like to know what year is the replacement motor. And if it's a 2.2 or 2.5.
