Like I said either you will be or !

Lol well she said just pay her half then the rest in a few months when she comes back to do a few last errands in August. If she was trying to dart I dont think she would say that... haha

Took a look at the car again before committing to buy (not a very big chance I wouldn't still take it). Either way, here is a pic below.

There are some scuffs around the corners, little spot above that one wheel there, no leaks underneath that I can see, etc.

Anyone happen to know what colour code this is?

3P0 - Absolutely Red

In winter my heater cord hangs out too. I get all kinds of "Is that a hybrid/electric?" questions.

If times get tough maybe I will sell it to someone like that!

Just put a lampcord poking thru the grill and go into mass production.

Thank you my good fellow.

And yea, just a block heater cord.

Here are pics of the two more noticeable things (but fixable).



This thing can pop out, but if I put it back in, it stayed in there for most of the drive, nothing that some glue can't fix!

I am not sure how their shipping is to Canada, but AutomotiveTouchup.com has the best prices that I have found on perfect OEM color match paint in various forms (touch-up pens, 12oz spray cans, quart cans, etc.)

[ellisd87]

What would you suggest for what you see here? And it's kind of a pain to ship into Canada but I have a mule in Washington that comes up once in a while haha.

With how little the car is costing you, you probably don't want to sink a load of money into having the bumper and fenders professionally repainted. If you have any experience with painting, it is easy enough to shoot the fenders and bumper yourself.

I purchased the red one in my signature picture with some front end damage and put a new fender, hood and bumper on it and sprayed them myself with rattle cans from automotive touch-up.

[ellisd87]

OK so you just used the spray cans then eh? You did the whole bumper and fenders though? Would it be easy to just stray the bad areas or is it gonna look like poop anyways?

With my painting skill level I find it hard to blend large spots, so I just shoot the whole area. Both the fenders and bumper are easy to remove, so you can even do it off the car. For the bumper you really want to use the plastic adhesion promoter that they sell as well. Their clear coat is also a great match for the OEM clear coat.

You sure its not orange?

And no, not all 07's had ABS

[ellisd87]

It does look somewhat orange yes, not sure which colour code that would be as nothing indicates that for 2007.

In the picture with the side market light hanging, it definitely looks to be red (3P0), but in the picture above it, it looks a little like the copper orange mica. To be sure, look at the VIN tag on the driver's door frame and it will list the color code.

[ellisd87]

Ah perfect thanks for the tip. I will check it out Thursday when I pick it up.

I'm not too concerned, we are going to give it to my fiancee's mother as she needs a new small car. It will be good for her and we don't absolutely need it lol. But it would be nice to give it to her in a bit better shape on the outside

This is the understatement of the year . A thoroughly wonderful country, just not re trying to ship packages into it (a package of mail in my case).
