Hey there guys! I just picked up my new to me sedan today!
I just happened to check ebay and this had ended with no bids, I contacted the owner and he took a few days to get back to me but it all worked out in the end..

Bought it from the original owner,
78k miles
all options, G85, etc.
extra set of wheels and tires for the winter,
new in box hawk front pads
runs and drives great with exception of a rattle in the front while going over some bumps.
(I suspect the front sway bar bushings)

So hard to find one of these sedans, especially 100% bone stock and not butchered up by some kid. It looks like he really took care of it well, it just needs a alot of cleaning up.

The motor has some oil seepage up top right, seems like this is a common issue?

Picked it up for $8k, Think I made out ok here?

Thanks

 

That oil all over the intake manifold looks weird, it's not over the bpv solenoid thingy. See if it's oil.

 

Nice car welcome!

 

Ya intake manifold is major oil soaked the while engine bay is dirty but other than that car look great I would have picked it up for that price to

 

Looks great! keep it stock you'll thank yourself

 

Looks like a good buy.

The clunk is probably end links. They're fairly cheap and easy to replace.

 

I come from an SRT-4 and an Abarth oh trust me I know! lol

Chances of finding another one in this condition and color-option combo are going to be slim.

If anything just a stage 1 or similar. the car handles amazing when compared to my SRT-4 ACR and Abarth, and also seems so quiet and smooth.

 

Nice car.

The oil seepage might just be the valve/cam cover gasket. Purchases a new one.

 

Looking much better now after a nice heavy duty gel degreaser.. Looks like the intake can sensor and front drivers side pcv hoe causing that mess.. Sound about right?
