Its gun metal gray, Tan interior, no rips in seats, the dash is cracked on top but not too bad. 107K miles. 40 K on last clutch job. I have something like 14G in receipts from around 2002. This car sat from 2002-2005 or until about 6 months ago when I bought it, so all that work is practically new. I have almost all the receipts and I am the 3rd owner I think.

It has S4 brakes and coil overs on the front. I am not sure if this was a factory option.

What is missing or what it need is below.

Missing front splitter.

AC is not working right now, but I think it has a bad shrader valve. It was working when I bought it, but the compressor clutch coil burned out. Just replaced the clutch coil with a new part, and charge it but it leaked out. It was holding some pressure before I charged it.

I also replaced the TPS with a new unit.

The high speed fan seems to come on at the wrong times and is a bit erratic, but I have a new thermo switch. Runs cool on the highway, but heats up quick at idle in the heat. I think it is the thermostat, and I have a new one. It also cools off on just a few seconds when driving.

Uses some oil, but the plugs are clean. I am 100% certain this is oil seepage past the turbo seals. Also after driving it hard and letting it sit for half an hour or so, I get smoke on startup, but this does not happen when it sits overnight, like a leaking valve seal.

Runs very strong, but does break up a little under high boost, high rpm. Probably the wires, cap and rotor.

One of the crank position sensor connector boots is broken, but it runs fine.

Also the front end was repainted for some reason. There are a few imperfections on the hood and the rest of the paint on the rear is just okay. Its not perfect but it looks good with a good wax job.

The sunroof does not leak.

Cruise control does not work.

The CV joints click from time to time, but it always goes away quick so i dont worry about it. Sometimes it goes for a week or two, clicks, then goes away in about a mile or so. Probably need to be repacked.

Other than the above this car is solid and straight and runs very strong. All of those problems should be an easy fix.

Below is a list of work that was done to it around 2002-2005 that i have receipts for.

any idea on what it would cost to fix all of the minor problems mentioned?

 

Probably not that much. Mind you I drive this car everyday and it is a very strong running car.

The AC could be a significant number if you send it out, but I am going to tinker with it this weekend, and change the thermostat and thermoswitch to correct the hot idling and also see if I can get the AC working. I had considered switching it back to R12, just because its so much colder, but not since I am selling it. To do that you would have to flush the system, change the seals, and change the dryer.

 

Aero...

With no disrespect to tammons, the numbers I think cover the items he was so good to share are (estimates based on my experience only!!):

Front Splitter (batwing): $175.
A/C (if serious about fixing and upgrading to R134a): $600.
Leakdown/compression test: $150.
Cruise control brain: $50.

Good luck, check out with a PPI and otherwise sounds like a good car.

 

No problem. Thought I might mention the car has been retrofitted to r134.
