Hi all..
My GF who is currently in San Jose, CA for two years for work has put a deposit on a 1992 900 non turbo 2.1 litre automatic. She has just had it checked out by the local tech in San Jose and he has come back with a few pointers and wanted to get some guidance from everyone here in what is major and costly etc. Car has genuine 133k miles on it.
- transmission oil leak (i said to her this is normal)
- distributor oil leak (i said to her this is normal)
- speedo cable seal leaking oil (i said to her this is normal)
- oil leak in engine bay (i said to her this is normal)
- front suspension tie rod boot is torn
- ABS light comes on (flashes briefly) when really hard braking. (indie said it could be $$$ or something simpler to fix but would need to diagnose further)
To me all these sound pretty normal for a car of this age and miles, but wanted to get some guideance too!
So.... any ideas on causes or costs to fix any of the above? She is looking at buying the sled for $1,800 or thereabouts.
TIA!
cheers
Steve
