NW Ohio 2011 9C1 Owner (6mos in)

Post by thirdgenfarmer »

Bought a 2011 9C1 w/ 60k miles in October 2016. Slowly working to return her to a more stock look. Purchased in Pittsburgh, PA while in town for the week (oops), so far loving the car.

When I bought the car it had an awful DVD system installed in the headrests that didn't work, interfered with the radio signal, and drained the battery flat. The wheels are aftermarket and look to have hit every curb in the city. Overall the prior owner used the car and didn't seem to care for what I consider a cool image these cars have.

The good news is that the car came with a CERTIFIED PREOWNED WARRANTY and I was able to use it to get the harmonic balancer pulley and accompanying parts replaced. The dealer in my hometown couldn't believe they had a certified a used police vehicle. (According to the paperwork the car only was in service for ~2500 miles). I'm guessing a test vehicle?

I'll try to dig out a picture of the car, but may be on my personal machine.

Land still belongs to father and grandfather, but have driven many an implement through the field. So far the only passenger car I've taken "offroad" is a 1996 Camry used as the farm beater! Heck of a sound hearing the corn stalks beat the hell out of the bottom side.
