WELL A SAD DAY IT IS, MY BELOVED LITTLE BAJA IS SICK. I BOUGHT THIS BAJA FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER ON 9/25/2014, AND HAD HOPE I WOULD HAVE IT FOR A LONG TIME. I HAD A BUNCH OF WORK DONE TO IT AS SOON AS I BOUGHT IT. I HAD THE FOLLOWING WORK DONE: 10/07/2014TIMING BELTWATER PUMP WITH GASKETTENSIONER BEARINGUPPER RIGHT IDLERUPPER LEFT IDLERLOWER IDLERSMALL UPPER IDLERCRANKSHAFT SEALCAMSHAFT SEALSVALVE COVER GASKETSPLUGSOIL AND FILTERBATTERY I HAVE RECEIPTS TOTALING OVER $1,000.00 FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR I ALSO HAVE A CLEAN CARFAX REPORT FOR THE CAR THE TITLE IS IN MY NAME AND IN MY POSSESSION I ALSO PURCHASED A BRAND NEW BED EXTENDER FOR THE BAJA. THE TOTAL WAS $169.68 THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD HER NEW HAMPSHIRE DEALERSHIP INSTALL A BRAND NEW DRIVE SHAFT A FEW MONTHS BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. IT HAS ALL THE STANDARD BAJA TURBO OPTIONS, PW, PL, CRUISE, TILT, AC, POWER MOONROOF DUE TO ITS AGE, IT HAS THE USUAL SCRATCHES AND SUCH BUT NOTHING MAJOR. THE SEATS ARE LEATHER BOLSTERS WITH THE CLOTH MIDDLE, THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS TEARS AS SEEN IN THE PICS. TIRES ARE GREAT, AND ALL OPTIONS WORK. CARPETS HAVE SOME STAINS I HAD INTENTIONS ONCE THE SUMMER CAME TO UPDATE THE SUSPENSION WITH A HEAVIER DUTY REAR SPRINGS, SO INCLUDED WITH THE SALE BUT NOT INSTALLED WILL BE: BRAND NEW OEM FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPRINGS. COST $90.24 WITH RECEIPT&BRAND NEW RALLITEK REAR OVERLOAD LIFTED SPRINGS. COST $252.86 WITH RECEIPT NOW FOR THE BAD: I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THURSDAY 2/12 AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED AAA AND HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. HE CALLED AND TOLD ME THE ENGINE IS DOWN ABOUT 2 QUARTS OF OLI BUT ISN'T LEAKING EXTERNALLY, HE SAID IT'S LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. WE BOTH AGREED BASED ON THE MILEAGE IT WASNT WORTH PAYING HIM TO TEAR APART THE MOTOR TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. AT THIS POINT, I AM ASSUMING WORST CASE SENARIO, THE BAJA WILL NEED A REBUILD OR REPLACEMENT OF THE MOTOR. IT COULD BE SOMETHING MINOR AND YOU MIGHT BE GETTING A SUPER DEAL, BUT I AM LISTING IT ASSUMING THE WORST, THAT WAY THERE ISNT ANY SURPRISE FOR THE NEW OWNER. PRIOR TO THE ISSUE, THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF ISSUES, IT WAS RUNNING AWESOME WITH PLENTY OF POWER AND SHIFTING PERFECT. I DROVE IT ON NUMEROUS LONG DRIVES AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT MY PRIMARY VEHICLE AND IT WAS MORE OF A TOY, SO I (and by "I", i mean my wife told me to sell it) HAVE DECIDED TO NOT FIX IT. I HAD AAA TOW IT BACK TO MY HOUSE TODAY, AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP WITH NO STRANGE NOISES AND I DROVE IT DOWN MY STREET AND INTO MY DRIVEWAY, BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO FULLY DIAGNOSE IT ON THE OFF CHANCE IT ISNT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT. BASED ON WHAT THESE LITTLE CULT CLASSICS ARE SELLING FOR, I HAVE SET THE RESERVE REASONABLY AND LOW. THE CAR IS LOCATED IN MIDDLETOWN, RI AND WILL NEED TO BE TOWED. PLEASE EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. SORRY ABOUT THE SNOW IN THE PICS, BUT WE HAVE A STORM COMING. THERE IS A $500 DEPOSIT DUE VIA PAYPAL AT THE AUCTIONS END FULL PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 3 DAYS UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE I WILL NOT SHIP THE VEHICLE BUT WILL WORK WITH THE BUYER IN ANY WAY I CAN. THANKS
