Heater, sunroof, power windows, mirrors and locks all working. A/C blows very cold. Frame is rust-free. Body and interior are in great shape for the mileage. Drivers seat and steering wheel are rough but I included a cover for the seat. Windshield is cracked but not the worst.
Nice, clean Toyota sidesteps.
Transmission shifts smoothly, recently changed the fluid. Steering feels good, could probably use an alignment.
Brand new battery, starter, timing belt, radiator, radiator hoses, AISIN water pump and fan clutch, OEM thermostat, rear shocks, front/rear windshield wipers and throttle position sensor.
I have boxes of various other parts yet to be installed, including a new power antenna for the radio and washer fluid pumps. I also have a set of lightly used tires for the car which I'll throw in for an extra $400.
The engine runs hot (about 223 degrees after 15-20 minutes of idling) and misfires. I believe the injectors are original, which after 349,000 miles means they may be starting to fail. I haven't figured out what is causing the high temperatures but I suspect either air trapped in the cooling system or a small head gasket leak.
This is not a trivial fix but a novice mechanic could have it done in a weekend. It runs cool with the thermostat removed.
The car runs and drives. I recently drove it from Columbia to Murfreesboro with no issues. I would recommend taking the thermostat out before going on a long trip in case of overheating. I'm willing to do this if you need.
This vehicle has a lot of potential, I simply don't have the time or resources for it. Make me an offer!
