My dad and I went out and looked at a teg for sale today. Found a '96, with power everything. Little bit of rust on the front end, but that would have been easily fixed. Start it up, idled nicely, and the clutch felt good when we drove it. Then we noticed that the passenger door was very tough to open, the top of the door door was up too tightly against the unibody. Either the door was seriously out of alignment, or the car was in an accident and the frame was bent, probably the later. To top that off, it needed new pads and rotors all the way around, a windshield, and a rad that the owner never told me over the phone. Also the area under the carpet, in the trunk, was filled with water.
*sigh* The search for a clean teg continues...

I don't want to have to deal with leaks. If it's talight seals then, no big deal, but if it's something else I don't want to have to get into that.

I found a '94 LS on the Ohio Craigslist. I had plans to go see it Sunday, but my dad forgot his passport. I called the guy up asking if I could see it Wednesday (tomorrow) and put a deposit on it. He turned down the deposit because he was on welfare and didn't want to have to report that income. He calls me today while I'm at work saying it sold. Bummer. The car was a southern car so it was rust free and bone stock besides maintenance . The downside though was tan interior and it was automatic.

I did some autotrader searching on my lunch break tonight, and find an out of town, really nicely maintained 2001 GS. 5 speed, black leather interior. Stock other than a catback exhaust (didn't ask for the make) and a short shifter kit. Timing belt and everything has been done. Call the guy up, he was really honest. I ended up putting a deposit on it, and I'll go Saturday to check it out and hopefully take it home :D

Tl:Dr - one teg I found sold, but I found a better one, and I'm going to hopefully buy it.

Drove out to Toronto this morning with my dad to look at that 2001 in person. The body was in fairly good condition, nothing unexpected. We found a couple mechanical things that would need to be fixed including ball joints. We take it on a short test drive and it started over heating at stops with both fans on, as soon as we got moving it went back down again. Then we accelerate onto main street. Get through first gear, shift into second, give it a little (not even over 2000rpm) and BANG! Look in the rear view mirror and I see bits flying out from underneath the car. We give it some gas in gear, nothing. Coast it off main street, and push it the remaining distance back into his driveway. Turns out the driveshaft snapped. :lol: We told him what happened and also brought up it could have a headgasket problem and he instantly dropped from $2490 to $1000. He must have known something was wrong with it. We told him we'd pass.

Then we found one on autotrader that looked mint in pictures, drive out to the dealership and it got hit in the drivers quarter, and had hail damage. Pass.

Found a little gem after that. 97 ls, super well kept, one owner, tons of maintenance done to it, timing belt, fuel /brake lines, etc. Drive out there to go look at it knowing the keys weren't at his house. It is his sisters car and she was out of town. We looked it over and it looked very clean inside and out. We're going to meet them sometime this week to drive it and possibly buy it.

Well you just read I'm looking for a teg. A gsr would be best! ;)

I called a guy about a gsr, he was the original owner, garage kept it's whole life. We tried arranging to see it, then he tells us it's his cousins car and he is in Europe. The car is locked in the garage until he his home. Hoping to get that one. Looks mint!

Is this guy crazy or am I or what's going on here i'm confused... He wants 8500 for his built ls that looks like it needs ton of body work etc. I got more motor work done than him (sleeved etc) body is super clean it's a gsr and has full suspension koni gc plx gauge system asr sub/sway bar like tons of stuff and it needs main bearings. He wants 8500 for his that needs ton of body work etc and i'd be happy to take half what he wants

So my stock stereo stopped working out of the blue today? Anyone have an idea what can be the problem. Searched back to 2006 and no one has much posts about stock stereos especialy for my 97 ls. Does not power on at all red light does go on and off which is normal.
