I have been looking for a 100 series for a few months now. One came up at a used car lot close by. its gray with 122k. Just the color we have been looking for. milage is a little higher than we wanted but the main concern is that it is pretty well worn in some places and some things are missing and or don't function. Sunroof does not work, antenna does not work, steering wheel and wood paneling is in pretty bad shape. No third row seats. Its also completely missing the CD changer and it seems like the nav/display doesn't work properly. Is that because the cd changer is gone or is there something else wrong? Can I just switch out the nav/display for the previous year center control unit? Which I actually prefer anyway. Also how hard is it to switch the steering wheel for one that is in good shape?
There are also cosmetic issues on the exterior. It needs touch up painted and, in my opinion new front and rear bumpers as they have both had miner bumps to them with spider cracking paint. They did say they have not had time to get it detailed and the small things fixed and that they are planning on fixing a lot of these issues.
It has had the timing belt changed at 90650 miles and it has a clean car fax.
They are asking $17000
Good deal?
Too many little things wrong? (Maybe evidence of poor care and maintenance?)
Thanks for any advise.
