I did a cursory inspection before the purchase, so I at least knew the parts needed to make the car driveable: a battery, and it needed a full set of brakes/rotors. But after driving for a few days, the speedometer and odometer went blank, the abs light came on and the winter mode transmission arrow started to blink .... hello Mr. shorted ABS module.
So today I pulled the EBCM and shipped it off to the repair shop. Cost is $50 including shipping, lifetime warranty. Also completed brakes and rotors ($160 in parts) in 3 hrs with my fiance's help. Her favorite job was stepping on the brake pedal while i bled the system, lol. There was brakepad sized groove worn 1/16 deep into the front discs, no way were they ever turned.
While assembling the front brakes, i noticed the outer tie rods have a little play. Near future work: inner/outer tie rods, lower balljoints.
Happy Halloween!!
Smiling for the pic only, lol!!

Cleared the eng/trans codes (my OBDII reads transmission codes) and the arrow went away.....but the check engine light came back on with an oxygen sensor code. Oh well, looks like a bit more wrenching is in order.
