Isn't that price kinda steep? I dunno maybe I'm just used to Canada. I picked up my 97 Acura 5spd for 2200 and it came with 3 sets of tires, everything in and nothing needed to be replaced (except a window motor) and I was seeing more for around that price. And still less than 150K miles.

Is Canada cheaper on beaters? lol

It could be that we do have them a bit cheaper here lol... I looked up some in our area found one at a toyota dealer 97 camry with about 145K miles for 1900 asking (canadian price) .... There's a 2000 camry with around 140k miles for 2700 and 97 camry with low miles around 95K miles for 2400.... ( there in kilometers just converted over to miles ) ....

Those are canadian price so a little less in US $$

So i guess its possibly that we do get them a bit cheaper Lol....

True but I got the is300 wheels on craiglist for $100 with tires! I couldnt pass that deal up. Spring are about $100. Just trying to make the car look a little better.

Good idea. Daily drive it until it sells, then find another car you could fix up as a daily and flip.

Haha, I think flipping the car once in your life is one too many. I ain't that greedy.

I claybarred this thing and I had to go through two bottles of wax cleanser to take all the crap off the paint. Previous owners didn't give a crap with this car.

^ Haha, I wasn't going to but every time I washed it, I can feel all the rough surface areas so it bugged the crap out of me. Now it's smooth as a model's ***.

Yup manual windows, manual locks. But I only rigged the driver's side to have power locks. So it unlocks and locks whenever the car turns on/off. Not to mention some custom lighting mods and cluster and center panel bulbs replaced with LEDs. It's brighter and cleaner than Lexus' interior lighting. =)

Yup, 5sfe. Pretty decent, but feels so damn slow since I'm so used to my FX35. haha.
