So I picked up my 2014 PPV from a local police force in Ontario today. It was purchased through govdeals.ca 224,000 km on it and I was the only bidder and got it for $5500 CDN.
My initial observations.
No lifter noise. I plugged in my Range AFM before the trip and hope it stays that way.
The tires are Eagle RSAs with good tread left on them. I found the ride on the highway to be good. Not too noisy. However, I have a a vibration at highway speed so I think they might need to be balanced. Is the Road Force balancer best for these?
There was excessive bouncing over bumps. I think that the shocks and struts could use changing. There are new springs in the back.
The interior is a mess. They dropped in a middle seat/console in the front. Not attached to anything. Not sure if I'll keep that.
There's a brand new back seat too. Just sitting there with no nuts holding it down. I think I'll have to get that attached before the safety inspection on Tuesday.
The driver's bottom seat cushion needs to be replaced.
All kinds of holes, missing handles, trim pieces etc. Nothing too bad.
The hubcaps are missing and need to be replaced. The lower trim on the front bumper is chewed up.
I replaced some bulbs and the only light I can't get to work is the LH brake light. Any tips on this?
Aside from that I'm happy to have it and look forward to driving it and doing some work on it.
