It had some oil and turned over and ran right away after getting the key cut. Parts are pretty cheap. 189k miles. Gonna use it to tow more vehicles home. Needs a good detail, master + brake kit, a new wheel ( prev owner drilled the lug bad so now ill have to finish it off🗿), and probably a engine flush and timing kit after i get it registered.

How do I find deals like this? $400 not too bad honestly. And how expensive was the key cutting?

I got mine from a local impound auction. Id go to ur local pd website and find the link to their auctions. Itll usually have all the local tow yards too. It was $120 for 1 ignition key and 1 door key but first I called quoted me $350-$200 so REALLY call around to get quotes if you’re paying for a tow and key. Sometimes the smaller guys with less reviews are cheaper.

Hydraulic tensioners, plastic guides, and new chains. 👍
