I am the second owner and have all of the original owner manuals, remotes that work and a bunch of repair history documentaion. My car was well-maintained, but needs to have the transmission rebuilt. 1st & 2nd gear works, but 3-4th is intermittent and no reverse gear working. It was perfectly maintained by a mechanic (me), until my transmission went bad. I wanted to get her back on he road again but have now decided tosell or part it out. I have always used premium 93 octane gas. Considering it's age, interior & exterior are in good condition. No accident ever with car, no dings, dents on exterior. The right passenger door has some minor clear-coat peeling above the door handle.

All of these parts had been previously replaced on the engine: pressure relief valve, oil pump, valve cover gaskets, rear seal, camshaft seals, upper timing chain rails, valve cover hoses and oil separator, thermostat, oil cap, water pump, power steering fluid reservoir hose, engine wiring harness, distributor caps and custom high-performance ignition wires. This engine creates clear exhaust. The only area that I know of that should be addressed on the engine is oil leaking from the low-oil-level sensor, which is very common with these engines. I will give you the o-ring for it. You must remove the oil plan to replace it, which is why I had put it off, since minimal oil leaks from there. I have put a lot of time in the engine, so she should not let you down.

Parts needed becausenot working properly/damaged: windshield (crack on it), transmission (needs rebuild), a/c compressor (has bad clutch, battery, engine cooling fan clutch, FM antenna gear, odometer motor, ignition switch (just tostart is intermittent, so Imade a push-to-start-switch under dash), sunroof right bracket, electric rear windows are tempermental, front/rear vanity mirror, headlight wiper motors work intermittently, center armrest needs to be reupholstered because has major cracks in leather, LR door has bad close-assist actuator, seatbelt sensor switch, hairline cracks in center console wood trim. Parts sold off from car: audio system amplifier, vacuum door lock and trunk close assist modules, C-pillar carpeted panels.

Newer parts previously replaced on car: The front tires were replaced most recently. Headlight switch, used radio preamp, ventilation blower motor regulator, alternator, front shocks, steering damper shock, both front lower control arm bushings, both sides inner & outer tie rods, center drag link, intermediate roller arm bolt & bushings, wiper relay, radiator, upper & lower radiator hoses, coolant reservoir tank, and both rear suspension accumulator air cells.
