FS- 88 535IS - $7,000 OBO Bend OR.

Post by Feelghood »

Hello!


88 535IS for sale $7,000 OBO
Located in Bend Oregon 
Showing 176,589- Not sure the validity of that. 

Absolute Driver! I drive it 3-5 days a week. Done 200+ mile trips in the last few months.
Temp goes just past half then quickly goes back to 25%- 30%.
Radio has USB for phone connectivity
Summer tires are a bit out of round so above 60mph gets a shake. Thought it was the front suspension so I bought the below kit. I bet the front suspension could still use these installed. 

New Radiator Installed Last Year Part#: 17111468546 Nissens from Turner
New Silicone Hose Kit and Idle Regulating Valve Hose Installed last year from Ireland 
New OEM Plugs and Wires Installed last year.
Have OEM Brake Pads in box.
Other Misc. Bushings, another Motronic, I believe a brand new Catalytic Converter.....Need to check. - All brand new and still in boxes and bags in the trunk.
New Suspension Kit not installed in boxes in truck from Catuned:https://catuned.com/#!/Suspension-kit-C ... /368394756 Including the below:
L/R Upper Thrust Arm w/ Ball Joint
R/L Lower Control Arm w/ Bushing3L/R Tie Rod Complete Assembly
L/R Sway Bar Link
Idler Arm
Center Tie Rod Assembly
2 Rear Pitman Arms
2 Rear Sway Bar Links
2 Rear Subframe MountsComes with set of Studded Snow Tires As Well


Needs / What would go bad on a car this old:
Trunk and hood rubber sills. (Doesn't leak from doors or sunroof)
Seat Adjustment buttons don't work. 
Left Blinker bulb out. 
Coolant light is on, but level is good. Sensor is probably bad. 
Wiper motor fuse or relay or ground is bad. Wipers work when they feel like it. 

Speck of rust spots: (keep in mind the car lives in the high desert and very rarely is wet)
Front right fender
Drivers Door Sill Corner
Trunk Sill
Underside of car is spotless. Like crazy spotless.
Previous owner dinged drivers rear corner. See photos. Isn't bad. Got a quote for paint-less dent repair and didn't go thru due to paint being bad enough.
First few pictures the car is wet. 

Please Text me if you're legitimately interested, we'll set up a time for you to see it and drive it. 
Six O three - 3 Fore Ate - 6 Three Three O

If you have anything Japanese or an E30 IS/IX I'd consider a trade.
Love the car, first "old car", turns out you need to own a few things to figure out what you're actually looking for.

Looks great, but are you sure it's a "real" IS? Can't imagine someone would throw in comfort seats, even if the factory sport seats had lots of wear.
