Currently in processing on an '07 KBP Type S, approaching 92k in mileage (automatic btw...yeah yeah I know.. ...) to be picked up on Saturday...hopefully!
I've been keeping an eye at a distance on these forums in my hunt for my next daily driver, any helpful suggestions are greatly appreciated as to any common issues or items I should check.
Carfax came out pretty detailed, 3 owners total, was CPO'ed as of 2011 (looks like before 50k mark), accident involving front passenger side bumper in 2012, but everything else looks ok.
No details on if the timing belt/water pump were replaced, the last owner had it from May '14. Doubt I'll be able to get it tossed into the deal since I already dropped a deposit and started paperwork :\. But again any other suggestions or thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks, promised myself it'd just be a daily driver but looking over certain threads, the mod bug might very well bite me soon enough. Pics to be posted soon, but probably nothing distinctive from another KBP lol.
Finally brought it home! Sorry my camera lens on my phone is cracked and hence sucks at the moment. But yeah...the mod bug's bite is itching. Will definitely be a slow work in progress after I get some upkeep done. It will take some getting used too in regards to going back to FWD, but it's a fun ride. I think I may need to get the power steering checked or maybe it's just the fluid., the steering is noticeably hard when turning in/out to park. A little squeak here and there from what I think may be a fan belt when starting but it disappears after. Besides the 3x3 tranny fluid flush, any other recommendations?
Congrats on the purchase! It's a clean looking KBP. I am also from Maxima.org, and NYCmaximas.org. A32, and A33 owner.
Thanks! Small world!! Did you have the same username there as well? Vaguely familiar or maybe my mind is playing tricks lol, but I believe I purchased a set of the old 'David L' taillights from someone named Nick.
It already has the A-Spec kit! That's awesome! One less thing you have to add
Thank you and yes looks like I got lucky! Wondering if the previous owner was a member of the forum here, gonna try to check the suspension out this weekend to see if that was also done.
