Adventures with Used Car Dealers

Most coupe shoppers who have been looking long enough have probably had to deal with a used car dealer or two. Most are stand-up shops with good employees, others are a little more stereotypical. I had such an experience a couple weeks ago. I thought I'd share some lessons learned.

I had been out of town at a conference all week and was sitting in the airport waiting for my flight when a new coupe listing caught my eye. The first thing I noticed was the location: Longmont, CO just 30 miles from my house. Next was the price: $14,995. The color combo of Boston Green over Dark Beige Oregon is one I haven't been around much and definitely interesting. The mileage of 72,000 was much lower than I expected for the price and the photos showed it to be nearly all original and in above average condition. I decided with it's location, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

LK60219 - Part 2

As most probably remember, I talked my dad into buying an S54 M Coupe last summer (I'm sure he knew it would happen eventually). It turned out to be in much better shape than we even hoped with the biggest surprise being the TC Kline D/A coilovers and camber plates with a later discovery of IE subframe bushings. Yep, we sort of won the unknowing Toyota dealership lottery. At 73,000 miles, it was not perfect however, and I've been working over the last 9 months to make all the needed corrections to make it feel as much like my coupe as possible.

LC60348 - Part 4: Detailing & Dyno

So far we've transformed the exterior of the coupe to a 100% stock appearance and the interior with a clean and functional hatch. It's dramatically safer with brand new rotors and pads and the engine is healthy with new fluids and fully functioning oil lines. The final step in the process is to clean up the final exterior details, test how powerful the supercharger really is, and find this coupe a new loving home.

LC60348 - Part 3: Mechanicals

With all of the DIY fixes completed, it was time to bring the coupe in to our friends at PTech to get their professional opinion. We took a bit of a risk buying this coupe without a proper PPI, so I was anxious to finally get it professionally inspected.

 

LC60348 - Part 2: DIY

It's time to update you on the status of our project coupe! Once I got the coupe to San Ramon after a long spirited drive, I called Performance Technic to schedule an appointment for an overall inspection. They were booked for another couple weeks, so I figured I'd tackle what I could on my own before bringing it into the shop for the bigger projects.

After some discussion with Jon and Rick, we concluded that a major objective with this coupe would be to return the exterior to 100% stock appearance to maximize the appeal for the future owner. I look at a stock appearance as sort of a "blank canvas" that the new owner can modify how he/she sees fit without being distracted by the previous owner's modifications
