project: 2000 SSEi (black v.2)

Post by harofreak00 »

Pulled this home today for $1000. Tranny doesn't work, rear bumper cover is cracked, drivers door needs replacement... and just a good deep cleaning.

I think its so weird how they always come in pairs...

The car was clean when I bought it, but it was a 3 hr drive home home on some very unplowed roads. I washed it off already tonight, but it was too dark for pics by that point.

Any yes, it is a 2000, with 02+ wheels.

It's almost unbelievable how many of these you've had at this point. It's great to see them gain another 10+ years of life.

EDIT: Any damage to the rear door, or was it just the driver's?

No damage to rear door, only drivers. I already have a door, and a rear bumper... so I just need to track down a tranny.

Nice score! Is it missing the RR wheel, or is that hiding in the trunk or something?

EDIT: Got it, missed the pic, lol.

X2... I've NEVER seen a 2000+ SSEi, let alone a SE around here under $3000, even in horrible condition.

The tire straps wouldn't have worked so well over the mini-spare. The seller probably would have told me about the 2 flat tires (the front passenger is flat too), except he didn't know about it until I got there because of how much snow was on the car. Since the car couldn't move under its own power, getting it out of the 200ft long driveway was difficult. I also had to use my jack to get it on the trailer because the flat tire was causing things to catch on the way up.

I drove right through Starbuck for this one. I was going to call ya, but didn't have your number.

You don't see them because they are only available for a short time. With the app on my phone, I can contact the seller within 5 minutes of him posting it, always guaranteed to be the first there.

Here's a tranny. Not sure if this has the correct code?

Hee Hee,
:eek2:

Can't wait to see how this project turns out! So much to watch: The silver, now the black!

I find it hard to find any 2000+ SSEi's this way for a bargain too, good luck with this one, Andrew!

Love to watch these projects progress to finish. But, it does amaze me how some people can have such utter disregard for their vehicles. I have a child in my car 6 days a week and my interior NEVER looks like that... :roll: And you would think if you were trying to SELL a car, you would at least take the 10 minutes it takes to vacuum the friggin carpets and clean up the empty Newport packages... :banghead:

Good luck Haro!

Tranny replaced in record time today, started at 9am and finished around 2pm, with a short lunch break. 5 hours. I'd like to know what the book time is on it.
