The vin is invalid, otherwise I'd run the carfax for you.

It looks fine. It most likely won't CW at that mileage. Take it for a spin and make sure it is in good shape. High mileage 4G63s are ok, just make sure there are no obvious problems and make sure the timing belt was changed at 120k. Also get a fresh compression test and it wouldn't hurt to check for endplay on the crankshaft while you're there.

Good price though. Try getting it down to 4,500.

Yea it looks good to me. I would test drive it and run some CW test. Also a good compression test would help but i doubt they will let you do that.

Quote from Talk.

"The only 100% accurate way to find out is dropping the oil pan and measuring the end-play of the crank with dial-indicator while prying against the counterweights of the crank and the block with larger screwdriver in both directions."

Symptoms include the clutch remaining depressed to the floor on left hand turns.

Too much end play in the crank means its walked. I'll try and find the exact limits that mean walk, but it should be somewhat obvious.



It's running again shitheads.

Think for yourself. Question authority does not always mean disagree with authority.
