So weird, I posted this last week and I think it just came through.
Anyway, PPI came back pretty positive, I think. Besides the issues I knew about pre-PPI, they identified some minor leaks in the timing chain covers, and a recommendation for a valve job (probably the $1,500 30k one). The clutch did pop out of 3rd a couple times during their test drive, but problem was resolved by pushing the gear firmly into 3rd.
New brakes, rotors, and 1% brake fluid contaimination.
Steering rack is not leaking.
Heat works, Compressor is disconnected. Assumes its toast.
Windshield wipers weren't operative. Wrench couldn't hear the motor turning, says it could be anything from a fuse to a new motor and rod.
Surprisingly, power seats all work except driver side up/down. Power windows operative except driver side, no noise from motor when switch is activated, wrench thinks its probably the switch, not the internals given his experience.
Airbag fault code (spiral spring diagnosis), a bunch of blowers (including the oil cooler blower motor, which actually concerns me. The others are all random blowers (e.g. Rear blower temp sensor, defrost flap motor, inside sensor blower).
But that's it. The car pulls strong and drives like a dream. I figure its going to be an amazing car to own and slowly restore as time, money, and needs demand.
Pending smog, I'm committed to buy this.
