Never replaced a windshield in 30 years of California roads. I’ve replaced four since 2007 in Colorado, it’s a thing and I’d be grateful for a fresh one from the OP

It’s too easy to find the same model with fewer miles for half the price. ND. This dude knows what he has, and definitely needs to keep it at that price.
“...eliminated side markers and turn signals...” WTF? Is this even legal? And even if it is, how stupid would one have to be to want to drive around with no turn signals?
There’s just too many questionable choices that need undoing here to make it worth the time and money. Taste is subjective, but I have functioning eyeballs attached to a semi-functioning brain, and all systems are saying No Dice.
It’s a neat truck that has survived this long. But at $6k it is too much.
The grille, my eyes!
I agree that the two things together are not a cause for concern. We recently had to replace the original windshield on my wife’s 2010 Camry with 300K miles. It’s rare for sure, but sometimes you get lucky.
How is that considered bad to you? These had a recall for the dash (which is now closed), so having that done is a good thing. Also the windshield isn’t anything odd at all, windshields chip over time and any car with 170k will certainly not have the original windshield.
I work at a Lexus dealership. My job is to work with customers in the service lane who want to sell or trade-in their aging Lexus. I’ve seen these, regularly, with over 300k miles and still running like new. We took one in on trade once with 350k miles, it was in good enough condition that we could put it on the used…
Good point, had not considered the necessary investment to make it road worthy; have rescued several ‘barn finds’ in recent years, so I expect this one would need $500 - 1000 added to the cost.
Running and driving shouldn’t be assumed here - this thing has been off the road for 14 years and is going to need some work and a thorough going-through to get everything up to spec. It also likely sat for a while prior to that given how low the mileage is.
What one person calls rebuilt might be very different than what I would call a rebuild. Was this a re-ring, bearing and gasket replacement or a machined, blueprinted rebuild? Or somewhere in between? No details given so I would assume the former.
So some amateur restaurant fencer poaches some ova, then scrambles to find a buyer and gets busted? He’ll do medium-hard time in a pokie before he’s pardoned eggs post facto after shelling out some money to grease the local pol.
I count 11 cops in that photo. Certainly there were even more just outside of the picture. Coordinate this kinda thing with a bunch of bank robberies going on at the same time and success would be assured.
Yup. The old sensors could have just been transferred to the new wheels. Not like they wouldnt fit.
I’m not buying a complex and unreliable vehicle from a seller that couldn’t do even the simplest thing: TPMS sensors are all of $100. What else hasn’t been worked on? This is absolutely a car to stay away from when the owner says it’s all ok “except for this one light”. ND.
The market on the Reatta Convertibles used to be $12-15,000 just a few years back. 3800 reliability with 80,000 miles? It looks like the drivers seat might have been partially redone, and the trim on the dash has faded? As with every vehicle of this age, seals, gaskets, hoses are all going to need replaced. You’ll…
1990 was an updated year. New interior, instrument panel, air bag, etc... Very good year.
If it passes a PPI, it’s a NP. When the top is down, it is one of the prettiest vehicles made in the 80s.
