Nice car at an excellent price,I’ve seen no mile cars go from between $35-40K but maybe that car does need some work besides being sorted out but as a buyer you are in a position to bargain a little. I’m in the minority in that I want the cleanest car possible and if it needed to be sorted out I’d do the work myself. I’d buy that car @ $30K and break out the tools. The seat bolsters look a little odd,I’ve never seen them that baggy. Good luck OP and any and all questions can be answered right here. I’ve had my car for 10 years now and still love it.

Default Pre-Purchase inspection in OC, CA

So checked out the car today but did not drive it as it would start but then stall repeatedly after about 5-10 seconds. Seller claims Bosch fuel injectors done. I found some history of the car doing some simple research, and after I was told the owner bought the car at the auction...thoughts?

Seems like Fuel Pumps as Marty cautioned.

In case you missed the answer over on the other forum:

With 300 miles on a 90, it will likely need:
1-fuel pumps and sender, as I bet the existing one has so much rust you will need to clean the tank bottom.
2- 16 injectors
3- tires for driving
4- new fluids, all

Marty

Ditto... and then you can find out why the SES light is on, after that change the injectors.

Agreed. They claimed they just put approximately $2k into it at Corvette Mikes. Waiting to see all the records...
Note: the SES light was not on now. Must have been when they took the original pics and/or after they did some maintenance

It would be nice if the car would run but I’d still look at buying it,just curious as to what they will let it go for. If this place paid well over $30,000 for it they won’t want to put anymore money into the car but who’s going to go $30K if they at least can’t hear it idle? I wouldn’t take their word for the new injectors unless I could actually see a difference between what’s in the car and an OEM part. As stated It’s going to need some work and you might me looking at a few thousand $ in parts alone. Push them for $25,000,if somebody’s going to loose their @$$ on the car,if the buyer is smart it won’t be him. That dealer knows the car needs work,why else would it be parked out of sight? Interesting story here.

Oh, and the radio was barely audible as well. Assuming the Bose system is toast

I would more likely assume the Speaker Amps are toast which replacements from Nissan Max (95'-99) are very good and inexpensive replacements and an easy 15 minute job to replace. Nissan Max speaker amps I have gotten for $5 or $6 at Pull Your Parts for example.

Bose Speaker Amp Options TIPS
