I owned a 2003 for a couple years but sold it about a year or so ago. Well, a real beauty rolled through the auction lane and I was the high bidder, paid $1810. It has 143,000 miles, it is pretty clean, drives excellent, stops on a dime, tight suspension, 1 owner car fax, etc. Only thing that didn't work was the AC which I had recharged for $110 so now it is ice cold. I also spent $40 on a K&N filter which will arrive Thursday. Was gonna get the oil changed but I checked it and it is extremely clean and full, but will probably do that later this week for peace of mind. Nothing like 8-9 gallons to fill up the tank and driving for 350 miles. Here she is, is there anything you can think of that I can buy to make her perform better while I am still in the honey moon phase and willing to spend a couple bucks!
Nice find. Just one thought, return the K&N filter. The reason is dirty MAF and sticky throttle plate are fairly common. The engine output is so low that oil-soaked filter is not really needed or desirable. GOOD LUCK! Bob Wilson
Ok, I am attempting to cancel through Amazon, I have no problem spending $10 instead of $40 for a normal filter.
They were out of stock on the air filter so I bought a cabin air filter. Probably pointless but I had a $5 off coupon.
1. How are the tires, windshield wiper blades, and serpentine drive belt? 2. Replace the PCV valve, iridium spark plugs, engine/inverter coolants, and transaxle ATF. 3. Save some money to resolve the air conditioner refrigerant leak when the air conditioner no longer blows cold.
