Bought S14 today and here's whats wrong...

Okay I just bought my S14 240 today. I bought the veichle knowing there were problems with it. Here are the problems I've found so far:

-Check engine light is on(seller says its the missing 02 sensor)
-Drivers windows goes down, but doesn't go up(it creats this annoying beep sound. Seller says window is possibly off the tracks.
-Missing deck and says harness that connects speakers is tampered. I would have to connect the speakers directly to the future deck.
-Shift **** can't stay on shifter. Missing bolt to connec t them.
-Crack on front windshield.
-I thought i smelled fuel from inside teh car when i came back 30mins after driving it.
This is all I can come up with at this moment. I'll post more as soon as I find some.

Other than that the car runs good. I didn't notice anything wrong with the engine, the drivetrain, and how it ran. This can just be a ruse though. so let me know the important things to take care of first. I'm so happy to join the 240 community, but I'll only stay a member as long as my car is running good.

I appreciate any advice. Price suggestion and solutions to problems would be really helpful. Thank you.

P.S. Sorry for not being more brief, but I can't reallly think of any way to sum up this post. A problem of mine :P

-Check engine light is on(seller says its the missing 02 sensor) -

get an o2 sesor, install it.

-Drivers windows goes down, but doesn't go up(it creats this annoying beep sound. Seller says window is possibly off the tracks. -

remove door panel, inspect, think of solution.

-Missing deck and says harness that connects speakers is tampered. I would have to connect the speakers directly to the future deck. -

buy deck and speaker wire, install.

-Shift **** can't stay on shifter. Missing bolt to connec t them. -

buy new shiftknob

-Crack on front windshield. -

buy new windsheild.

-I thought i smelled fuel from inside teh car when i came back 30mins after driving it. -

verify, then find source, fix.

your problems are pretty self explanatory on how you should go about fixing them.

Best thing to do mate, go to Nissan or any well known and trusting mechanic and get a diagnostics done to the car. But before that get a o2 sensor.

Appreciate the support. Yeah the problems are pretty self-explanatory, even a monkey could fo thought that up(no offense to monkeys ;P)

Oh one last thing, temp gauge is off. It always stays in "C" I believe this can be due to the thermostat. I haven't has this issue in a while. and ever since i had my 7, which was like a year.

Thanks.

Gosh I probably lack the most experience under the hood. =P
I haven't worked too much on cars. Thats why I always need the help of my fellow forum members. I'll check out the temp sensor.

go to advance auto part or some of them store, they do free engine check light test for obdII vehicles, it should tell you instantly if it's the o2 or what, as for the res the other guys r pretty much got it down., good luck
