Sick of my current ride cause I already have an mr2 so want to get something else. Looking at a 97 VR4 + cash my way. The first thing I noticed is it's missing that thing in the middle of the bumper that they all do lol. Mostly cosmetic stuff like it could use a good buff, the plastic engine cover is missing, taillights look a bit faded.
The price works out and is posted at about $4500. He seems genuine and says that the AYC has been serviced regularly and that the only thing is the engine sounds tappity when cold which sounds right from what I hear. Got 170k on it and was wondering what things I should take with me for a look see. Like I would like to compression test but the rear bank is too hard to get to. Do the maf sensors have some kind of easy multimeter test? There must be a manual round I could look at but I'm obviously not going to tear the car apart to find things it'll be a check out, drive and look underneath for leaks kinda deal.
Triptronic auto, no big intercooler or any other things like that just looks like something that has been daily driven. It doesn't seem to be a rip off and run deal but pays to check into any big possible issues that I can simply check for and if it really is market value. Yes I'm from New Zealand hence posting here about values opinion etc
Thoughts?
