We had a good run with my brother's '99 SE. We bought it banged up, straightened it out the best we could with the parts I had laying around and some paint. It has lasted almost 5 years!!!!
The list of bad stuff is too long to list, but the final nail in the coffin is the brake lines need to be replaced from ABS unit to each caliper. They have been patched a couple times but now are leaking everywhere.
Probably has 260,000+ on original 2.5L and auto trans.
The good:
-newer starter
-newer tires
-runs very good besides the oil leaks and the check engine light being on for a transmission clutch
-svt front bumper with crack below passenger fog
-svt front oval mesh
-svt front bumper mesh is cracked in half but zip tied together and could be repaired
-2 rear svt strut/spring assemblies with less than 75k miles
-clear TYC headlights
-brakes feel good
-knuckle/wheel bearings feel good
Its rusty, crusty, beat up, and probably smells funny, but it was a great first car to tool around in.
Make offers on PARTS or the ENTIRE CAR!
THESE PICTURES ARE FROM 5 YEARS AGO! The rust has come back through the passenger door. Rusty rockers, and plenty more scratches/dings.
When we bought it:
With some replacement parts before paint:
After paint:
