m i just bought it last weekend and it actually doesnt have any problems or anything thats bothering me.
when i got it had a huge stack of receipts and records and its pretty much all up to date i think it needs an oil change in about 1000-2000 miles (according to sticker in window)
it has 163,000 miles
oh i kow one thing, glue one of the back panels back on when i was running my power wire for my amp it popped off.
some gorilla glue will work wonders. | | | | | 11-09-2007, 10:22 PM | #4 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |

You could also hook up a ipod connection to your HU if you have an after market. I no longer carry CD's and I can carry more songs with my 30G Ipod | | | | | 11-14-2007, 07:45 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |
