That's a beautiful car! I'd have to look at to see if I really believe the mileage. I bought a used instrument cluster on eBay that had a lot of dust on and in it, so I took it apart to gently clean everything. Lets just put it this way... anyone with a screwdriver, about an hour of spare time, and an ounce of mechanical knowhow can make the Q's odometer read whatever they want it to!
From the pictures I believe the mileage though...
As far as what would need to be replaced (besides reinstalling the air box
)- I recently did a complete suspension overhaul on "Q2" with 47K on the odometer. I was surprised at how good everything looked - but it still had a squeak or two when it was cold outside. Rather than nickle and diming it to death over the next 3-5 years I decided to just replace everything rubber and be done with it.

I dont want it. As much as I love the Q, its an expensive decade-old car. On an old one thats well-maintained and you've replaced many of the major components, at least you know whats broken, and dont mind driving it like you stole it.
Having 200k on the odometer means you dont care anymore, and thats the way to do it!

Did the 94 base Q come with heated seats and tcs? I thought that you could only get that on a T. I assume that there are not many base Q's with those options - - - at least not many with heated seats running around Texas!
If that is actual mileage it seems incredible to find one that low. What a waste of a $50K non-collectors car!

Jesda , the more I wait , the closer it will get to my daughter 16 birthday this summer . I will give the Q to her - a good safe , heavy car to bang around as a 'training machine' .(minus the snow days ) . The car is in sweet condition now , and she may wreck it , we'll see .I would still like to sell her to a NICO member though .

The heated seats and TCS were part of a winter package option. When my 95 base Q was purchased, that's pretty much all they had in the showroom. Here in NJ, with the winters, you'd be stupid to get a RWD car without TCS. I guess that why you have the redundancy of a car with TCS and LSD. For the markets that don't have winter, at lease they still have LSD.
