Mind you, I'm not asking specifically for myself.  This is a friend's ad.  Is his asking price reasonable, given the description?

Wire and crimp connectors are expensive dood.

100 dollar bill that the current owner bought it. Changed the fluids and filters, plugs and wires and the car still didnt run so he gave up. Took it to autozone and realized the codes are more than an o2 sensor and said fuck it, someone bail me out

Edit -- Aren't these cars notorious for a seal going out inside the motor and dropping internal oil pressure? If I remember correctly it's a treat to fix as well as half the motor gets ripped off to access it lol

I had to google it lol.

These cars have an internal seal that blows out and lowers oil pressure internally. Thus starving the front cover where the VVT timing is located. Shits out and locks up the timing gear and thus throws codes P0011 and P0021.

This does require tearing everything off the front of the motor to get to. GL HF M9

In other words dude got ripped off and now he's trying to cut his losses.








I'd offer 3k cash and not a penny more.

It's begging for a crusher imo. I can see the "kill me" expression.
