I have the car currently listed in the Auto Shopper and Auto Trader. The highest offer was for $15,000 but the guy offering it was a BOZO, (I hope it wasn't someone on here). I thought you guys would . . . could appreciate this a lot more. The car runs and drives perfect. Had a Timing Belt, water pump, spark plugs, everything replaced at 115K. Car should go to 200,000 miles easily. I know there has to be someone on here that can, and will appreciate this car.

Pics:


















Forum Member dannieboiz came and saw the car, here is what he had to say about it:
Hey Guys, I can vouch for this car, I hated green but when I saw this in person I had nothing to complain about. He did everything possible to this car and did it the right way. Both my gf and I liked the way the car looks and drive too bad I had to go another route. I should be back with another GS eventually but timing is not right now or else I would have bought this.

Here are some interior shots: I have lots more, including a closeup of every panel on the car, that I can e-mail to anyone interested. The car absolutely must be sold by the end of April.

I agree with rominl if you have the original stock parts it would be more $ for you to put the car back to stock and sell the aftermarket goodies you have. I love the SSRs and that beautiful green

I am in a financial crisis (dont want to talk about it ) and I haven't got the time to part it. I am moving at the end of April, and the car cannot come with me, thusly I must sell, and I unfortunately cannot part her out. Plus, someone on here is going to get a screaming deal on this car. This is a NICE car, so lets let someone get a great deal, and as for the price, I think that it is fair considering whats on it. (basically buy all the mods, I'll throw the car in free )

Please let me know if I can answer any questions about the car.
-Chris

no, unfortunately i have to say that the price is not fair -- you are killing all the other people trying to sell their cars at market price!

this is a nice deal

I thought this car was advertised here for $14k a few weeks or months ago. Why the increase in price if you're even more willing to sell now?

It was $14K because I didn't have to pay registration and buy new tires for it . . . Now, I have paid registration and bought brand new tires for it, plus 2 months of insurance . . . Hence $1000 more. It is listed locally for $18,888 but I am just getting tire kickers. I have worked out a tentative deal to keep it now, so if no one wants it for $15,000, then I am just going to keep it. Hopefully someone will jump on this, but you never know. I would like to have someone on here get it, so it doesn't spend the next 9 months sitting under a tarp, but if that is what has to happen, then that is what will happen. It wouldn't be such a bad deal to come back to it in a year and have it ready to go . . . .uh oh, maybe I will keep it. Someone better jump on it before I decide to keep it.

Headlights (just replaced with 2001+ headlights) No leaks, no cloudiness, slight green tint (matches car well!)
