Up for sale is my 1993 Geo Storm with 127K miles on it. I’m selling it now for $1,000 OBO because I now have 4 cars, and am looking to lose some insurance weight. This car was garaged this past winter and only driven maybe 10 times since October. I’ve been driving it the last couple of weeks and it feels fine and runs strong! This car would make a great winter beater or even a daily driver for a high schooler/college kid on a budget.
The Good
This car has NEVER failed to start on me in the entire time I’ve owned it (nearly 5 years). The previous owner is a buddy of mine, and for the 5 years he owned it, it never failed to start then either. That’s a decade of reliability! This car is a rock and I would fully expect it to live to 200K.
Tons of space in the hatch. I’ve put everything from bikes, to TV’s, to couches, in the back of it.
Driven by a mature adult; I basically babied it for awhile as it was my only means of transportation for a few years.
Entirely new exhaust system in 2008 (500 dollar job)
New Battery/Plugs/Wires, etc. in 2008
New Brakes all around in 2008
Oil changed every 4,000 miles (at least)
Regular car washes (aside from the rust, the paint still looks decent)
The Bad
Someone hit and run my car while it was parked in the CVS lot in Loudonville. They left a nasty bit of fender damage, as you can see in the picture.
Car has rust (mostly around the sideskirts)
Exhaust pipe rattles a tiny bit at low RPM’s
Driver’s side door doesn’t FULLY close, it latches tight, but when you’re driving over bumps you’ll probably hear it shake a little. This is due to sagging hinges, I’ve seen people get these from junkyards for cheap- Regardless, it’s never been a huge issue.
Tires have maybe 50% tread left (they are nice all seasons, and they’ll definitely last until winter)
this is the base model, nice car, i have the gsi, im a bigger fan of the 90-91 body styles with the pop up headlights, but these arent too bad…only thing about these cars are parts are hard to find…but whoever buys the car i know a lot about these cars and i have resources that i will provide to you and help with anything you might need…
