o much want for this. What’s even worse is that it have the money to actually buy it.

“needs water pump that’s it!”
Pardon my skepticism, but this is a 2-hour job tops for someone as mechanically challenged as myself so I don't believe it. I bet it overheats but they're scapegoating a simple fix to entice buyers to make a dubious decision.

Is it easy on that car?
I thought they were driven by the timing belt, but I’m not familiar with the
3S-FE

That’s the main reason I wouldn’t commit to it. Somethings fishy when someone is selling a car with only one easily fixed problem, when all they have to do is fix that issue and sell it for more.

Awesome car, but the ‘needs water pump’ sounds to me like ‘it may or may not need a water pump but I probably massively overheated it and drove it anyway resulting in something far more major like a blown head gasket, etc’
:(

It definitely needs a water pump. You dont realize a car needs a water pump until it overheats and you destroy many cast-aluminum things. But it looks stupidly clean and im sure engines are aplenty out there if it needs more than a pump, timing belt, and new headgaskets. $700 all day

And when you fit that new water pump and find the rest of the engine died with the old one... suddenly your thousand bucks investment is not looking so sweet .

water pump, hoses, coolant, rad cap, t/stat, radiator, htr tap, head gasket and hours of frustration later, it might work
