$100 94 Q45 drives like a dream

Post by **aliciaford** » Mon May 11, 2009 11:40 am

I just thought I would post regarding the $100 parts car I bought a few weeks ago. Turns out it was flooded, nothing catastophic. We changed the oil, and replaced the fuel filter friday and took her on a test drive yesterday. Needless to say, it drives like a dream. What a difference between my 90 Q and the 94..... Anyway, any suggestions on what to do next? I am thinking belts and transmission service, and I know it needs a new antenna (Its bent slightly, but power is there). Should I be concerned about the fuel pump at 122,000 miles? Thanks again. Alicia

Congratulations on a heck of a deal. It'll be the most expensive $100 you ever spent

If you don't know the car's history, you must replace all fluids and filters.

Fuel pressure test will tell if you need a new pump. Is it noisey? Not definititive, but indicative.

An inspection fo the suspension will probably reveal other worn out rubber parts.

What to do next? Simple, just read every post written by member "unknown 007", and do the opposite- and you should enjoy a safe, reliable, fun car!!!

Yes, it has them. They are metal backed.

Now I know Berner is no perfect NICO member (I doubt many are). But statements like that are just plain un-called for.

Original Poster email me and I will send you an invite to EVERTHING you would possibly want to know about the Q45.
