buying advice needed on a '94 D1
hey guys,
just went to check out a '94 D1. auto, roman bronze, was fully loaded when new so leather, dual roofs, jump seats, rear air, w/ brush guards. 74k miles. started fine and drove decently, some noises but nothing strange for a 13-year-old car. seemed decent mechanically. only dash light on was abs and went off as soon as started drving. t-case works (surprisingly), goes into low and locks relatively easily. no rust or rust bubbles anywhere. everything seems straight, never in accident. 2nd owner. supposedly never overheated.
now the bad. tires are mismatched; all were in ok shape but mismatched. front sunroof doesn't slide, only tilts. rear passenger window stuck open. rear step missing. guy doesn't have remotes and only 1 key; central lock doesn't work. radio needs code. paint on hood and roof oxidizing. tiny tear in some leather. one of the running boards is missing bolts on one side so just hangs. small amount of oil seeping out under the valve cover (is this cause of concern? maybe just need new gasket?). oil looked ok but that doesn't mean much. forgot to check the steering fluid revervoir (doh!) but didn't seem to be leaking. engine bay wasn't sparkling but seemed about normal for a car this age. it's an old car, not *preserved* or anything but not bad either. i liked it. offered 3k. should i go for it?
thanks!
