Red 2001 5 speed SE with 116,000 miles. The car was used a lot on the highway for my old jobs and basically driving from Buffalo to Rochester every weekend. I bought it at the end of 2002 with about 44,000 miles on it. The front end was crashed and airbags deployed. Sofia Collision in Rochester did the original work.

Front half shafts are bad, check engine light is on, and there is no muffler (it was an old fat can muffler that fell off and is in the trunk). Other than that tho the car has been great. No big repairs other than the strut mount plate back in 2006 (i think) and the water pump about 2 years ago. Only in the last year I had to replace 2 fuel injectors that were clogged and caused it to misfire. Also, there is some rust spots below the door panel and below the gas tank.

It is drivable, just not sure how long since these parts need to be repaired. Been quoted 250ish for the half shafts. Also, this is great in the snow. I get plowed in a lot on my street in the city and this thing is a trooper to get out.

Asking $750 or b/o. There has been a decent amount of intrest in it shockingly. A lot of people want it as a winter beater or scrap metal/parts.

Have a camera now so I can do pics tomorrow.

Upon buying, I think you would plan on doing:

Oil Change  
Reweld the muffler  
Both front half Shafts  
Check Engine Light (Might be due to the muffler being off)

Its the SE with the 2.2.

Saturday at the latest i will have pics. I don’t drive it to work and don’t get home when there is light out. I might shoot some tonight and see how they come out.

Few rust spots but worked pretty good over the winter. Just had it since 2002 and needed to upgrade 🙂

I have driven it up until I got my new car Monday.

I suggest anyone buying plans on doing:

- Oil Change
- Both front half shafts
- Reweld the muffler
- Check engine light

The inspection is good till march. Tires and brakes I think are pretty good too.

I’m sorry. You never responded so I figured you picked up something already. I can swing by this weekend if you want.
