it has 124,000 miles on it, manual transmission, black interior. The interior is very clean, and the paint is ok, nothing a good buff couldn’t take care of. It has newer tires and brakes all around. The story is that the previous owner overheated the engine and now it won’t start, i’m assuming it’s the head gaskets, but I have not done any diagnostics on it. The motor is a 2.5, but i read that a 2.2 is a direct swap and it is supposed to be a more reliable motor. There are also JDM turbo motors on ebay that usually go for around $800, i’m pretty sure those are also a direct swap.

Trade in value is between $3500 and $5000 depending on which website you use and how you rate it. I would like to get $1800 for it. I am waiting on the title for it, but I should have it by the end of the week. If you would like to come take a look at it PM me or call me at 716-998-7688

there is no surface rust on it that I noticed, i took a quick look underneeth, it looks very clean. I’ll take some pics today. It does crank over, but it sounds like there is no compression, haven’t done a compression test though. The timing belt does turn when the motor turns over, so it’s not broken. I suppose the belt could have some teeth stripped off of it and it could have skipped a few teeth or something.

i just noticed that this car has heated seats and heated mirrors, perfect for winter!
