The Bad
[/FONT] -
[FONT=verdana,sans-serif]16 year old car with normal NE 16 year old car issues ( dirty carpet, rust, etc. )[/FONT]
-
Some crappy wiring by previous owner. Doesn’t effect the driveability as far as I know. Just makes you go a bit of WTF.
-
Foglights don’t work
-
Stock Radio LCD screen is a bit flaky. Still shows ok but wigs out a bit from time to time.
-
Some white road paint spots on hood and roof. This was previous owner. Not too bad especially if you are going to get a new hood ( which was my plan ). Look at pictures.
-
2 of the winter tires have slow leaks.
-
Squirrel hit my car last year and knocked off the drivers’ side rear dog leg. I still have it but will need to be cleaned up and fixed before reinstalling.

The Ugly
[/FONT] -
[FONT=verdana,sans-serif]Hood front lip is rusted through in 2 places. Latches fine but a new hood would do wonders.[/FONT]
-
Discovered a power steering leak when I started it up. Wasn’t there before the winter. Looks like a leak in the cooler line.
-
High compression motor takes some time to start if it hasn’t been run regularly. Also has some idle issues. Rev’s free just fine but has a bit of idle surge.
-
Rust spots on rear of front fenders
[FONT=verdana,sans-serif]

[/FONT] -

-
Winter rims/tires
-
[FONT=verdana,sans-serif]Stock suspension that was replaced with the KSports[/FONT]
I am selling because I don’t have to keep up the maintenance on a 16 year old DSM with a 2 year old and family, work and school. I am asking $3000 for the car. That’s the same amount I can get by parting out all the aftermarket parts and major components which I don’t have time to do but will if worst comes to worst. I wouldn’t consider this a good purchase if you are looking for a dedicate turnkey daily driver, but if you are looking for a unique tweaker car that is 80% of the way to running 12’s in a 4 door setup, this is for you. The interior is in very good shape ( no leather rims at all ) and the exterior is in ok shape with a couple of problem areas.
Attached are pictures. I have more if interested.
