Hi there, its been awhile since i've been active on this forum. I used to have a GTS and eventually sold it, i recently came across an ad on craigslist of a 1992 alltrac with 232k on the odometer.
Now the owner does claim that the engine was rebuilt before he bought it but obviously when i talk to him more im going to try and find if he has any proof of that.
He does seem honest because he is listing everything that is wrong with the car.
He says its going to need a new throw out bearing so might as well include that i will need to replace the entire clutch. Also says one of the axle boots is ripped ( cheap fix ). Air bag light is on AND abs light, now this part is concerning. he says its never been in an accident but sometimes both of those lights on means an accident. He does have the nice RC bumper on it but its black so it will need to be painted. ac doesnt work.
Other than those things he says the car runs and drives fine with absolutely no issues what so ever. Im wondering if anyone has issues with abs and air bag lights in their alltracs and what solves the problem aswell ?
Hes asking 5k and he doesnt seem like he wants to budge. I've looked on here aswell ( i live in ca so there arent alot here for sale that are in running driveable condition ) I saw one on here for around 1200 but he does not respond. and another one i saw for around 3k had engine knocking problems which im not interested in having to completely rebuild an engine. id like to get one that i can just lay down a coat of paint, freshen everything up and get driving.
So is there anything else i should look for ? or any advice on the problems his car has to begin with that can be solved would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you !
