Today I purchased a 2003 Black Touring 6MT Coupe with 63,500 miles. 100% stock.

Nav works. Original Bose is there. Leather is 8/10. Body 8+/10. Gorgeous car that drives like a dream.

$7k. But the driver window doesn't work...

 

Welcome and congrats Search the forums. There's plenty of info on here about the notorious window motor.


Pics of the new Z?...

 

Welcome.

Go to the auto parts store and buy a new/refurbished window motor. Might as well save some time and get it done right the first time.

 

Here are some pics. I took apart the window motor and cleaned it - It looks like a couple of the brushes have deep groves and it looks like there may be a bit of melting. Ordered a cheapo replacement off of Ebay.

I really enjoy driving the car. First upgrade will be Y-rated tires as the Eagle GT's are 2011. Next is to delete the rear wiper motor/spray nozzle and replace the antenna with a 5in carbon fiber.

The car has a fairly concerning rumble/constant growl from 10-25mph. I'm thinking a wheel bearing or possibly the input shaft bearing. I know a guy that runs a local place that I trust who will look at it. After that I want to pull the Bose and replace it with a double DIN w/backup camera.

 

Welcome and congratz! If you hit the yellow button with green mountains your pics will appear full size.

 

Congrats tmdz

Congrats on the Z purchase, fellow Washingtonian. Have fun with the stereo upgrade.
