Bought another SLE

Post by jradke61 »

Yep. An 01 with 165,000. Just fell into my lap and at a really good price.
Another clean, 2 owner car. Father & son. Every maintenance and repair record since it was new. Serviced at a dealership every 3 months even if it only had a 1000 miles put on it.

New tires, brakes pads and rotors , tie rods, upper and lower intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, plugs and wires, all since April of this year. Over $3000 worth. 50 miles on the last oil change. It's so clean can't even see it on the dipstick.
Dual heated seats, dual climate control, aftermarket sony stereo, everything works except interior lights. He never checked the fuse. Also the oil pressure bsensor is bad and there's a 4 inch crack in the rear bumper cover.
Interior is immaculate. Very slight rust (few small bubbles in the paint is all) by the fuel door. Hole was drilled a little late I guess.
Oh, and it's missing a center cap if anyone has one (see pic). I have a set of 4 that came with the swoopies included with my 05 GXP I'd trade if interested.

Haha! Thanks! It is exceptionally clean for an 01. Not sure how I keep stumbling on to these cars in such good shape and getting good them for the prices I have been.
