Folks,
So, for anybody looking for a ST-165 in decent condition, we have one in the area that's for sale - and a price that's a bit hard to turn down. I went to see this car about a week ago and here are my conclusions:
The Bad:
- faded paint
- few dings here and there
- drivers side front fender was pushed in near the door, but pulled back out. Looks 'ok' but I'd replace it (that's just me)
- been bumped in the back end - bumper cover has slight ripple and slight offset
- exhaust leak in flex pipe
- high miles (190k)
- rear cross member has been reinforced with welded plates - probably needs replacing
The Good:
- new tires
- interior is in nice shape (blue fabric)
- engine is dry - no obvious leaks
- starts up and runs great
- aside from rear cross member, rust appears to be okay - only a couple of bubbles near passenger front and rear fenders - but very repairable (not cancerous by any means)
- timing belt and water pump replaced within last 30k to 40k miles
-
asking price is $2000.00 - price is negotiable.
Overall, the car is in solid shape for what it is. It's currently owned by a mechanic, so obvious mechanical repairs were taken care of. If you want more info (as it's not advertised anywhere), you'll have to come to the meet. Note the car will NOT be there (not currently registered), but is within 30 min drive of our meeting place.
