problems: couple dings and scratches, surge of idle only when car is cold in winter time, as soon as it warms up it goes away (been like that since she bought it 15000 miles ago) **UPDATE: Found out this is a common problem with the cvt equipped transmission and goes away once the transmission fluid warms up and has no known effects other than this**

Would she be interested in a 98 legacy gt? 5 spd, fresh head gaskets, timing belt/components, clutch, pads/rotors all the way around, plugs/wires all with less than 1000 miles with reciepts. I think the body has 183k- not sure of the motor because it was replaced at some point. Also has good snows on and an alpine deck with alpine components in the front and coaxials in the rear. Interior is 8/10 exterior is decent but has slight rear 1/4 rust. It is green exterior black interior and I can get picks if interested.

dx is the lowest model coupe, it has no power options  
hx is the lightest coupe with power windows/locks but no moonroof  
then ex has all power options but no rear discs, no rear sway, and d series stock  
si has all power options, rear disc, rear sway and b16 stock

hx is the best shell to put a swap in IMO as it has power options yet is still light

If she is okay with standard, I might also have a 2000 forester with just over 100k available- just have to get the okay from my brother.

The Hx is basically a stripped Ex with slightly better fuel efficiency.
