Let me preface this by saying that in my region it is really hard to find a toyaburu that is not abused or with sketchy history, the car I currently have eyes on is a 2014 Orange Toyota 86 with 123k miles on it, it is an automatic with service history. It has a custom Carbon Fiber hood, a custom spoiler and a muffler delete. It is the only car I have driven out of 5 that doesn't have any weird noise or transmission jerk.
I had it checked with a mechanic and the report is as follows:
-Valve Cover Gasket LH/RH oil leak, requires engine to be dropped and seals to be changed. **
-Engine undertray bend, minor, does not need to be fixed.
-Mismatched tires (3 dunlop, 1 kumho, spare is a dunlop)
-Front Stabilizer Boot damaged
-engine mounts L and R, weak not broken
-shock mounts front L and R
-driver door side minor dent
-4 rims curb rash
-rear brake disc needs polishing
** He says this is the most important part to be fixed and costs about $650 for the parts and labor.
RECOMMENDED BUT NOT NECESSARY:
-Spark Plug
-Spark Plug Seats
-Ignition Coils
-Rear crankshaft oil seal
-Torque Converter oil seal
The rest of the car checked out properly, he said there was no issues with the transmission and the engine seemed strong without any issues, unfortunately I couldn't have a compression test done within the given timeframe. I drove it on the freeway and it was pretty smooth despite not having the OEM Michelin tires and mismatched Dunlop/Kumho tires.
Any thoughts on what to replace as soon as I get the car? Are these stuff that are considered normal wear given the age?
