The car is a dead turd unfortunately. Wouldn’t start, CPS issue from what I
could gather once we put a charged battery in it. Instrument cluster not
working and had a bunch of random CANBUS codes. Transmission apparently not
working from what the guy said but scanner would not communicate with it, only
some code related to instrument cluster. Maybe somehow the TCM needs the IC to
work or something. I don’t know what that was about, it was kinda weird. I
looked at a few fuses, nothing looked bad.
Old rear axles in trunk, a new pair of front axles and one new lower (?)
control arm in there as too. Pimp wheels had low profile tires that were mostly
flat but had tread. I don’t know why all the axles would be shot. Clear coat
was in bad shape on half the car but body was fine, interior was so-so but
would probably clean up.
Owner was a nice young guy, had some halfass paint shop. After I left he
offered it for $900, I had told him at that point it was a $300 parts car. I
told him to put on a new CPS and sent him a vid, at least get the thing running
then see what someone might offer.
I felt kinda bad for the guy, he had bought it from a friend earlier in the
year then a coupla months later the trans appeared to have croaked. Didn’t
sound like limp mode. I didn’t check the fluid, should have.
If someone wanted a cheap project that would be the car, if nothing else part
it out.
