I purchased this Verde about a year ago from Florida. While it has a 180K on the odometer but the engine was rebuilt only 21k miles ago (by RML in Daytona Beach, lorida). That was done 7 years ago. I have all service records since I purchased the vehicle (all work performed by DiFatta Brothers).The highlights:- Excellent cosmetically both in and out (no rips in seats, eadliner hangs properly)- Very Cold A/C- Sunroof works- Newish Bilstein shocks- Brand new tires- Brand New timing belt- Awesome, ery responsive clutch- Garaged as far back as I know- Handles and runs great- Absolute blast to drive- Engine (and entire car) very clean- All work since purchase at DiFatta Brothers in Baltimore - over $5k in last year, hich includes:
- New timing belt
- New water pump
- New battery (prior owner had put new but incorrect one so it was dying after short times)
- Clean and adjust window regulator
- Sunroof parts (guides, ifts, racks, prings)
- Coil and coil module
- Mult relay
- Replacement of upper and lower ball joints
- Replacement of outer tie rod ends
- Outer Back Boot
- New Door Lock electric motor
- Replacement of passengers window mech
- Four new tires
- Recent oil and filter change
The less good:- No service records from before I purchased last year (although Ric Loveccio at RML vouched for the engine rebuild and partial restoration)- No catalytic converter (it passes VA inspection and emissions but different states have different rules)- Trip clock not functioning (odometer does function though) and gas gauge has tolerance band (though generally functions)- The blower motor, hough now functional, ay be living on borrowed time (based on sound)- Small rust hole in far left side of spare tire well in trunk, nd small, arely visible amount of latent rust above right wheel well - otherwise rust freeWhile it is not a garage queen, t's not far off. I have spent over $5k optimizing this car since purchase this time last year. I wish I could keep it but I have room for only two cars so this beautiful Verde a needs a good home.
