Hey guys,
I'm about to buy a '04 ITS - put the deposit down, and situation is as follows:
-Car is a blaze orange - only 70,000 on the odo, no accident history, log books and service history, only 2 keys - from a dealer
-Exterior in beautiful condition, minus a scratch or two
-Tail light gaskets are dead, hence condensation in tail lights
-Engine is in good condition, not blowing smoke, etc - compression test reports 180psi all four cylinders.
-Gear box and clutch seems good too, no grind/popout/slippage when I had it test driven (note: I had it test driven by a 3rd part, as I am in VIC and car is in SA)
-No leaks in pressure test
-front left washer is dead
-Engine mounts show signs of wear - no cracks yet.
-Gutter rash on one stock wheel
Now, I'm more than happy with everything above - however, the following makes me cringe (see attached picture):
-Carpets look to be worn (I know this is an easy enough fix)
-there seems to be a tear in the driver's seat. (This I'm worried about - I'm a perfectionist - what are my choices? Replace seat? Retrim? Can it be repaired? - what do you reckon it will cost? - can anyone put me in touch with someone that might be able to do it well enough for cheap ($<250))
Price has been negotiated to $14k - does this seem like a good price?
