The guy said he had the wires replaced as well as both cats, so that could be related.
However, check this out.
As I was running away from this particular D2, I spotted another one, same color but being driven by an elderly woman, driving by with a for sale sign. As much as I want a D2, I followed her trying to get her number to call, but I just ended up parking next to her at a Cuban restaurant down the block.
It was a 1999 D2 with 95K, two owners. The first owner had it for 2 years, then she bought it for her daughter, so they have owned it for ~11 years. It had NO CODES (yaaaaaay) so no 3 amigos, and when I pressed HDC it went bonkers so it definitely worked and the lights on the dash functioned. No vibes while driving, and it had power. I think it was an SD because it had no sunroofs (again yaaaaaay).
However, as good as it seemed mechanically, the exterior had some dents and scratches, faded roof paint, the rear tailgate has a broken handle so I had to open it with a screw driver, it had a a nasty scratch that went through the driver's fender behind the light so it would need a new fender, and the headliner was sagging dearly. Also, what is up with all DIIs have a loose dash thingy that surrounds the speedometer, etc?
What worried me the most is that she told me the whole time she has owned it (again, ~11 years) she has pumped REGULAR gas. :Wow1:
Oh, and she was asking $3500 cash. Hmmm....?
