It runs. It gets amazing gas mileage. I drive mostly highway and get 50mpg or 600 miles per tank. It has a new aftermarket bluetooth enabled stereo. The original cd changer comes with it, but the original stereo that connects to it is long gone. The new stereo is a vast improvement. Timing was belt replaced last year by a local shop. New full size spare tire. Regular oil changes with Rotella 5w40 Full Synthetic.
Work since I bought it in 2010 (217k) new clutch, new starter, rear shocks (recent), brakes a few times, tires a few times, one ABS sensor...might be more I'm forgetting.Comes with an oil filter wrench, full size spare tire, factory jack and lug wrench. Best for someone who likes diesels and working on cars. My family is too big for this car now, and I just don't have the time to work on it. Otherwise I LOVE this car.
If you are local and want to test drive or look at it in person let me know.
If driving away, we will meet at the Lancaster DMV during open hours so we can switch the plates. See their website for open hours and location.
Issues:
No AC, worked two years ago, haven't bothered to look into it
Front driver's side side airbag non-functional see pics was like that when I purchased in 2010.
ABS light is on, probably one of the sensors.
Needs new radiator I think, very small leak, can be driven as-is.
Needs new rear brakes, maybe rotors. Still, no problem driving this car away.
Muffler sounds, needs muffler work.
Small oil leak at oil cooler seal, replaced myself two years ago. It is a very small leak and the seals are a pain to change, but if you do the radiator yourself, I would just replace the whole oil cooler while you've got everything torn apart and the coolant drained.
Could use tires soon and an oil change.
If you have questions please ask.
THIS IS A DIESEL.
Note: DO NOT try to start below -15 degrees F, unless you leave the battery on a charger or install some sort of oil heater, the oil cooler gaskets shrink and will leak oil everywhere. Expands once the car is started and running for 5 minutes. Glow plugs work but below -15 degrees I highly suggest some sort of heater/charger all night.
The " BioDiesel" sticker is just for show. I had plan of turning this into a WVO car but never got around to it. If that interests you let me know. I have only ever run max 20% biodiesel in this vehicle, purchased at a normal gas station.
