I bought from dallas county. Engine was bad as well as cooling system. Replaced engine and radiator at 118,000, transmission at 140,000 as well as 4 window motors and 3 regulators, shocks, signal arm, headlights, rear axel at 180,000.
Now I am having problems with inspection because of the strict texas emmissions. Any idea's to help pass me would be appriciated,,, thank you.
If you buy from a police auction; take into consideration a bad engine or transmition.
I have spent a lot of money to up keep this vehicle. I have replaced so many parts that I have lost count.
Even though I have spent a lot of money on this vehicle; it drives like a dream and not everyone has a fast CVPI.
Even though this is a 94 model, it is very fast.
I'm driving a 1985 5.0L CV with over 150K miles on it. I'm in large metro area with strict smog laws, and my car surpassed the 2003 requirements!
Aside from minor "wear and tear" that is to be expected with an almost 20 year old vehicle, the car is great. I'm seriously considering buying a second used CV.
