I really dont want to do this, but the family is going to be getting bigger soon. With two kids, I will have no time to really enjoy this car anymore. I drive this car to work every day, and it has never givin me problems. Very reliable. Please no tire kickers, I would like to sell this pretty quick but am firm on the price.

The Bad Will come with steelies and good winter tires Bings shifter rattles Need to give it a bit of gas on start up (stared this after 5 spd swap, I believe it has to do with CAS not installed since its a s13 trans) It still idles fine and is not a huge issue Clearcoat is starting to come off under passenger rear 1/4 window Please text me with any questions nine05 32four 469zero ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/car.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/car.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/540069_360042060699112_100000799646437_914100_601742105_n.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/540069_360042060699112_100000799646437_914100_601742105_n.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/summer05062012012.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/summer05062012012.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki016.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki016.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki017.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki017.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki022.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki022.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki021.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki021.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki020.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki020.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki019.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki019.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki018.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki018.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki023.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki023.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki024.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki024.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki026.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki026.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki027.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki027.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki025.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki025.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki028.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki028.jpg) ![http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki029.jpg](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb298/smittyda3rd/kouki029.jpg) ---

I already regret putting it up. But it has to be done. I wish I could keep it but it just doesn’t make sense right now. I’ll eventually get another one. ---

Sad face. I remember owning this thing, when it was actually mint. I think I paid $6500 then. Glad you did the 5 speed swap, and I know its not your fault - but the state of it actually depresses me and my wife. GLWS and its still worth what you’re asking. sadly it used to look like this 3 years ago this weekend - which is when I sold it. ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f46/Riddle_Rob/Graeme/joeys_s15.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f46/Riddle_Rob/Graeme/joeys_s15.jpg) ---

It’s obviously not “mint” but is still definitely very clean. ---
