154k miles
Chandler, Arizona
$5500 OBO
WAUML44E04N003654
I purchased this to fix and sell. It had a broken coolant union pipe which is a cheap plastic part and common problem but labor intensive to replace. I replaced it with an upgraded aluminum part that will never break again.
I've also replaced the following within the last 3k miles:
Upper Control Arm Bushings
Timing Belt, Rollers and Tensioner
Accessory Belt
Water Pump
Thermostat
Crankshaft Position Sensor
Spark Plugs
Front Main Crankshaft Seal
Camshaft Seals
Valve Cover Gaskets
Valve Covers Powder-coated Red
Front Engine Stabilizer Mount
Front Sway Bar Bushings
Front Brake Pads
Front Windshield
MMI Controls replaced with later revision from 2007
I've added a factory SiriusXM tuner that apparently has a lifetime subscription. I installed it, never activated it and it still works a few months later. I've also added an aftermarket box in the glove box that has an SD slot, USB and Bluetooth connectivity for streaming from your smartphone. I recently claybarred and sealed the paint.
The car is overall in really good shape. No rips in the leather. Everything works including air suspension. Minor scrapes and dents as typical on cars of this age. It's become our favorite car in the house, but time to move onto new projects.
Other minor issues: window tint has wear from window rollers, trunk motor needs a little help to lift open, could use a wheel alignment, sunroof motor makes noise when operating. 1 out of every 10 drives or so the traction control light will come on until next power cycle, non-persistent code for Steering Angle Sensor intermittent shows. That's it!
