Hey there everybody, I've been talking with Jesse(CanadianR), and Ben(benp), and they have been helping me with inspecting and judging, and making sure this R I want to buy is worth my time.
It's a black 1990, RA, and seems to be one of the earlier of that model to be made. It handles well, sounds fine, is rust free from every angle that I have looked at it from, and fairly clean under the hood. It has 130,000 km's on it, and he's never ran it anything but stock. He's asking $8000 CND for it.
As for the amount of work he's done to it, he's thrown in a K&N air filter, an Apex'i intake system, 16" Rota rims with Kumho Escta Tires (Also Toyo Proxes T1-S as spares
), and a Momo steering wheel.
Aside from that, this car is still all stock, and been running stock since he got it. The paint is still in great condition, it might have even been repainted, according to him, it's accident free, but I'll make sure of that.
He said that the rear brake pads and worn and need replacing, but aside from that, I haven't noticed anything else wrong. The speedometer seems to climb a little slower than Jesse's(CanadianR), but could that simply be from not having a FMIC?
I guess what I'm asking is, what else should I be looking out for, because I want to make sure I'm getting what I'm paying for. As for the price($8000 Canadian), is that fairly good for a well maintained R, with 130K running next to bone stock for the entirety of it's life? Did I mention it still has it's umbrella?
Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this over and gives me their thoughts or ideas.
