I was using this car as my beater until my SE-R arrived. I had it sold, but the buyer fell through and now I need it gone.

The good:
The car is in decent shape, I was originally going to turbocharge it and then put a decent suspension on it and track it. The motor runs strong and I was told that it runs high 14's, but this is heresay since I don't drag race, just not my thing. It is quicker than one would think and does merge well, it does feel as fast if not faster than my old Mazdaspeed Protege. The car also has an alarm.

The engine runs strong, with no isssues. I recently did a full tuneup (plugs, cap, rotor, trans flush, radiator flush, motor oil brake fluid, etc.) before I sold it.

The Bad
The transmission is cracked, and I'm currrently hunting for a replacement. The car has a bit of rust on the passenger-rear wheel arch and the trunk leaks, though I have sealed the entire trunk in undercoat. There is nothing back there, no carpet, spare, jack, etc.

I'm sure I left out a few things, so I'll be updating as I go. I'll try to snap some pics this weekend and get them posted here asap. The price with the busted trans is $1600. If I find a trans and install it the price jumps to $2200, save yourself $600...cable-trannys can be had for $150. The car originally sold for $2600.


Thanks,

Chris
