This is an exciting post for me since I've lurked so long here and have been patiently searching for a Gen 3 and at last, I'm excited to introduce to you my find. It's a 2 owner, 2006 Limited w/140K miles in Carbon Gray. Both owners have have maintained the vehicle quite well with detailed service records. Regular oil changes, and wear and tear items...oddly enough, not timing belt so that is #1 on the priority list. I would put the physical condition as an 8 for a 10 year old car with just minor scratches, no real dings at all, and leather is in pretty good shape...oh, and no rust at all! Oh and it has pretty new AT3s as an added bonus but I will say they are quite a bit noisier than Hankook ATMs that I had on a previous truck.
So here are the things that I need help with that will need to be addressed.
1. Timing belt (and associated parts) need to get done soon. Plan on tackling this with my brother and was wondering if there is a sticky or somewhere I can get OEM part numbers for everything I need and also the best place to buy from.
2. The power antenna is busted...motors sounds like it works but no mast exists. Whats the best way to remedy this? Can I replace this with a short, fixed antenna and dump the motor? From what I've read, it's not easy to get to though...
3. Rear A/C blows air, but not cold air. Where do I start to troubleshoot?
4. I am thinking about going with seat covers to preserve the leather from my kid who has already been kicking the back of the passenger seat. Any suggestions as to where to get decent, cost-effective covers?
