Just a feeler to see if anyone would be interested.
98 Red GT Interior & exterior is not the most pleasing to look at, but it is ultra reliable and has done daily duties well for the past 4 years of ownership. Parts replaced: New radiator/cap Spark plugs & wires Cat New tires New o2 sensor New coolant temp sensor New seat covers Always oil changed on time brake flush tranny flush when I got it (2011) The bad: small crack upper left windshield two speakers are not functional (radio related, just not a "need to replace" part to replace and audio is still fine) somehow the antenna is loose, taped it up so it functions just fine, never had a problem with the radio When starting cold, you need to hold accelerator for about 5 seconds, every other start after that is fine when warm (I'm thinking it's a fuel delivery problem, fuel pump. It only takes up 5 seconds of my day so I never really bothered to replace this problem) No tinted windows Paint is faded, but who cares about that? The strut in front of the radiator seems to be bent, I feel like the previous owner might have hit it and just replaced the front end with another one and sold it off to the guy who sold it to me. Brakes feel a little warn, stop just fine tho It has a leak somewhere, nothing drastic but you may want to put more oil after 2,000 miles or so. About half a quart Rust on the outside passenger a-pillar, nothing that's bad just kinda nasty Gas guage works, but seems to move faster towards the last half of the tank, 400 miles to the tank is normal The good: does 80 miles a day no problem 32 mpg when freeway heavy never any problems with the engine tires have only 15-20k miles on them, they are 80k+ tires Timing belt was replaced when I bought it @ 145 (2011) still has it's spare tire I clean and maintain all the necessary parts. Castrol GTX high mileage on every oil change Last time I cleaned the throttle body was 1 year ago Battery keep cranking after 3 years, 78 month toyota battery No idiots drive my car, only me never had any stupid swaps or crazy air intakes Just checked over all switches and fuses and replaced the shady ones catalytic converter was pricy but now it passes smog with WAY below numbers New headlights A/C works fine at freeway speeds, but not the greatest at idle Heater is ridiculous hot in winter Has been in Cali for the past 4 years All power everything works without flaw Odometer, speedometer and tachometer work flawlessly E-brake works flawlessly Throttle cable is non sticky after I cleaned it Suspension is fine High beams work flawlessly underbody plastic has been reinforced with new screws Replaced underbody driver side plastic when it flew off (previous owner again) Never any problems starting (except for the already mentioned) very cheap to maintain Basically, all the bad stuff the previous owner could have done has already happened to me, so I replaced and now it's a champ again. Perfect A to B car, and has given me 4 reliable years of service. 193,xxx and continuously going up as it will still be my daily. Looking for $2,200. Hoping for a local sale. Cash only -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)

I may be interesting and will be up in Sacramento area next month. Does the car smog ok? Have any pics? And if I buy it, do you think it will survive a 600 miles drive?
