Looking to purchase this 2001 3.0 s type and not a fan of the rubber inserts things along the side doors. Anyone know if their glued on or will they leave marks after removed. Sorry about the terrible pic thanks.

 

I would be more concerned with the hazed over headlamps and what ever else has been neglected over the years. Those look to be factory door guards, I believe that they were on Canadian spec vehicles. My bet is that they will leave a mark after all these years.


Make sure you go over the vehicle with a fine tooth comb, I would even go so far to see if any codes have been recently deleted.

 

Ok will definitely scan it, got the headlight refinishin kit. Paint thinner might work? The kms are extremely low under 150 so i won't be surprised if there's something wrong. But I want a second one. Might go with a 06 v6 for 7 grand.

 

Paint thinner will not remove paint fade. It is after all a 14 year old vehicle that looks as if it hasn't had much in the way of cosmetic upkeep, no offense.


Just a note, don't be surprised if you will have to run the full gambit under the hood, vacuum hoses, plugs, COPs, oil seals, etc....

 

Hard to tell from the photo but I agree it probably needs some elbow grease.COPs = coils? I'm going to take a look at it this week along with the 2006 3.0 I've had my eye on for quite a while. Surprised it hasnt sold 132 000 kms 2006 for a lil over 7 grand sound right ?
