Decided to start this thread here, as I have one going in another forum but not much attention. Going to copy/paste a few things over I picked this car up in July, so as of this post it's been in my possession a few months.
I’ve had a thing for 99-04 cars ever since (regretfully) selling my 2003 GT. Always said I would get back into one of the price is right.
Well, neighbor had once sitting in his driveway for 9 months. Finally I asked him about it back in July. Was a family members who passed away and was looking to just get rid of it.
Long story short, $1k later and it’s in my driveway.
2000 GT premium vert. 68k miles. Runs and drives but has a few issues I can sort through:
-AC clutch failing and rattling hard
-brakes spongy (prob need to be bled)
- mystery current draw drains battery fast.
- needs tires. Front drivers is bald on outside while others are ok. Might need to check for play on that tie rod.
Other than that, needs a good buff and interior cleaning. It’s sat for 9 months and is dirty. Seats are ripped and a few misc weatherstrip broken. All minor stuff.
Anyway, here’s the car
