I've never had an OBDII car before, so that'll be an experience in itself.

I'll have to get a scanner though, or some kind of program to use with the laptop.

I woke up this morning to what I only could describe as someone taking a ball-peen hammer to the base of my spine. I suppose that answers the question of my next car for me.
Meh, deep down I knew what I should've done when I bought the Miata... Alas I was stubborn. Still am stubborn... -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

There's this internal struggle between what I should do, and what I want to do.
I suppose it'll work out eventually. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Yeah, that's throwing all kinds of red flags... Err on the side of caution.

That add looks so fake. Unless something is horribly wrong with that car, it shouldn't be that cheap. If it's real I bet an apex seal or something is about to go.

Most of them have either been modded to hell, or just driven into the ground. They don't fetch Supra money but there still worth a good bit of money. -------------------- JDM Part King

I just looked on feeBay and it should be at least twice what it's posted for. Either it's a scam or there's a "1" missing.

If it's real my guess is the engine is blown on it or about to blow. No one sells a FD in nice shape for that cheap. -------------------- JDM Part King

If it's never been opened up it's about time for the seals to be redone. Even then, as a running driving car I'd expect at least $10K.

Could be someone who doesn't know what he has. Rolling FD shells sell for that price so if it's not running then it's priced well, otherwise its suspiciously cheap. It's worth checking out. Worst case scenario, it's a fake and you've lost 30 seconds of your life to type an email.

Worst case scenario is they have you "look at the car" only to be mugged and killed, of course I'm overly suspicious and paranoid.

Its older gentleman who owns the car apparently and is selling since he just purchased matching cars for him and his wife. Ill find out if its fake or not. Not worried about be robbed or killed, i always bring a friend and another person or 2 that down the block this in case something goes south. I live close to cleveland, you can never be tooo cautious. |
