'93 PROBE FOR SALE:
There's a buddy of mine trying to sell his '93 Probe V-6. He wanted to restore it, but found another car in the meantime and needs to sell this one. It sounds like it might be a nice car for commuting or for a teen's first car. If you're interested, give me a PT and I can put you in touch. He lives in the Sacramento area.
Here's some info:
1993 Probe GS, Motortrend's Car of the Year.
Mileage: 82,000

order
History: This car had one other owner. my mechanic's son, also a mechanic (Rogers Automotive, Milford, CT. I bought it with 60,000
miles on it in 2005 and used it to drive back and forth to work
The good stuff: All replaced before I left. I put 2,000 mi on it in Sacto
New distributor
New exhaust
New battery
New tires {2,000 mi.)
New rims Enkai, they look nice, not gaudy. The originals rims were nice just too pitted to refinish.
{Goldpoint?} plugs
It's about $1800 just in new parts.
The deficiencies:
Bad paint fade
Needs slight body work around pop-up headlight (left side) but no open
or closing problems.
Need slight body work, to repair 12 inch split that runs from the bottom of chassis upward, right rear quarter.
Needs oxygen sensor most likely, a common glitch in Probes. Car upon starting runs perfectly, but after 5 minutes it begins to runs very rough. I don't think it's an injector problem, or a wire problem or arcing, but I never had a diagnostic done, and won't do it myself because I'm too lazy to get the codes.
Need glove box latch, and whatever tape he used to keep it shut left glue on dash, otherwise the interior carpets just need a good shampooing, seat fabric is perfect.
It has eastern rusting on the bottom of the chassis, but does not compromise the integrity of the floor or chassis. It just looks nasty. No rot on body.
$2000. Title is clean.
