jeffro Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Im going up to Toledo to look at one this weekend. Has a hair over 100k miles. carfax checks out. Bone stock with a new clutch. Its the 6 speed manual version. Anything i should be looking out for in particular? Im not talking about regular oil changes etc... Also, how do these fair as a daily driver? My brief search last night yielded limited performance upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Beware of electronic parts. If MAG does not have it in stock, they cannot get it at this time. Supplies are starting to dwindle on popular items. Could not get a blower motor for a '05 9-3 the other month can't get a throttle position sensor for a '03, etc. You are buying a car with no certain OEM parts future at this time.

Thats scary. :thumbdown Preliminary search for an 07 TPS yielded aftermarket parts, which are okay in my book. I could care less if theyre OEM or not.

Both of them have problems with electronic and can't get fix because of the parts situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybye Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Yeah, I would suggest looking at something different. I know we have several at Byers and have been told to no longer retail them to ANYONE. I guess they have taken them in on trade and many have needed miscelaneous parts in service and it has been a nightmare trying to find the parts. So we can still take them in on trade, but they all have to go to the auction or get wholesaled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRD2BDF Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Had one. The best car I've ever had. Had it from 43k to 118k. All it needed was oil changes. Loved that far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
