Hi all --
So, I've got a couple of friends seriously looking at a '94 80 on ebay -- lockers, 77K miles, no birf maintenance done yet (looks like it needs it). California car that seems ULTRA clean --
-- what do you thin of it from the following description and pictures?
Also, do you think the vibrations could be due to a mess of different tires on there? The spare and running tires don't seem to match, and I can't identify the 4-tires.
Thanks -- I'll tell you his selling price in a bit --
-- any pictures can be blown up, upon request --

Description:
DS mirror vibrates, glued on the broken piece with superglue and he was going to put it together after it dried a bit. He may do the RTV fix too.
The tires are around 3 years old, 20k miles, the shocks were replaced around 4 months ago. There is a bit of "cupping" on the tread which I think is causing some noise and vibration.
The security system does not blink the lights as it is not factory, but dealer installed.
The front diff lock locked and the light went soild, the rear continued to blink, but the vehicle was not moved much. I doubt that these were ever used, so some cleaning might be needed.
All the wipers should be replaced, but the rear MUST be replaced as the blade is ripping off. I did not test the wipers due to the condition, plus I forgot after the test drive, sorry.
The rear defroster lights, but it was quite warm, so I can't say if it works or not.
The windshield has three small chips, two on the driver's side and one on the passenger side, all very small.
There looks to be a small amount of gold paint on the driver's side mirror.
DS rear marker light is out
The muffler is a flowmaster
K&N air filter
He said it is about 80% freeway miles, since he got it, which it had around 40-45k miles on it.
He said the battery is around 2 years old, although the side of the battery has a sticker which is marked "Dec 00".
The second row seats has very slight wear on the lower section front, may just be from age though.
He does the maint. himself.
The steering seems tight
Low gear engaged no problem
The alignment seems to be ok (hard to tell on some of the roads around here, but seems normal, slight drift to the right, which is typically because of the freeway).
Transmission shifts fine, seems to have normal amount of power
The "D" light is out (typical) on the dash
I did not see any rust or corrosion.
The roof rack looks fine, no sign of rust that I can see.
The paint looks good, he says it needs to be waxed. There are a couple of chips here and there, but I did not see the typical door dings. No scratches that I saw. Very clean. There are a couple of chips in the bumper paint and some small chips on the front of the hood. I saw no signs of paint overspray.
The wheels all looked good, although the center caps need work (see pictures).
I did not see any leaks under the vehicle, no rust.
The seats look very good, the third row seats look brand new. Very little wear on the seats.
AC is cold
Antenna goes up and down
Cruise works, accel and coast
Stereo works, all speakers seem to work, did not have a CD or tape to test it with.
I think that is about all, plus what I have mentioned to you.
