Shocking news from previous owner..... Posted by Walt [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: How do I check out a junkyard 5 speed?, Walt ![]() |
So anyway, the car is in a popular u-pull-it junkyard....A receipt in the car for new clutch kit, slave cyl, and master cylinders totaled $1000...I called the previous owner, left a message inquiring about the condition of the trans....She called me back a short time later, and informed me she had not had the car since last June...It had been STOLEN!!! She had not been informed by either the police, or insurance company about the cars recovery...The only explanation I can conceive is that the car was recovered after ins co settled the theft/loss claim, and the car then legally belonged to the ins co, so the owner wasn't notified. Still seems fishey, I'm not sure how to bring the issue up with the junkyard....
But anyway, prev owner did report no problems with the trans after 112k miles. Since car was a non-turbo, with low miles, I'm hoping for the best...I do have some concerns about how the trans was treated during it's theft. It's a shame the car ended up this way, so early in it's life! Quite a looker, too...dark green, tan leather....
Guess I'll pull the side covers and take a look...and try to confirm the yard received the car by legal means....
