Hey new guy here... I need a small truck for work and I really want to learn to drive standard. I'm looking at a 1995 Mazda b2300 for sale and could use some advice about the repairs.
Here is the ad text:
"Selling my pick up. It is black, paint is ok but fading on hood and roof, its a work truck. Has a cap, newer motor with about 90k on it, new timing belt, new coil pack, new plugs and wires, new air filter, change oil regularly, changed tranny and diff fluid too, truck has 150k minus the motor. I installed the motor myself. About 15k on KYB struts all around. Mechanically sound truck, just needed some more torque to haul material. The suspension feels tight and its great in the snow while in 4wd.
Some minor things wrong with it that will be fixed to be sold for $2800, or left as is and sold for $2000. Your choice if you are handy.
1) Needs a top hat, the locking mechanism on one of the front hubs is needed for the 4wd to work and the ABS ring is rubbing.
2) Power steering pressure line is leaking and needs to be replaced. I already have the part.
3) Tail gate handle does not work, must open from inside tailgate.
4) Needs new struts for the rear cap window."
I'm specifically interested in the first two he listed because they affect the truck's performance. I have experience with the 98-2000 PVH 4x4 but I don't have experience with this system. I also asked him if the ABS ring rubbing has affected the sensor, rotor, or wheel bearing. He said that he believes the ABS ring is rubbing the sensor, but hasn't affect the sensor because the ABS works. The truck is cheap but I don't want to get in over my head. Thanks guys
