I am wanting to see if I can get a buyer for my car, since I've found a good opportunity with another car that is newer. I love this car to death, but I'm wanting something newer since I drive nearly 400 miles per week. It is a 95' GT hatchback, that just turned 178k on the clock. I bought this car from an Asian guy in January of 2007, when it had around 160k. Since then I've done many things to it, modification and maintenance wise. I've lowered the car, put new wheels on it, changed radio/speakers, added sound deadener, put in a new shift knob, among many other things. The car itself drives very nicely, and I haven't had any major problems with it ever, and it has NEVER overheated in the time I've had it. I have receipts for almost everything done to the car, and I'm very picky about the small things (though sometimes I don't have money for everything, so it can be bothersome lol). The exterior has some minor issues, but it's certainly not horrible. I'd give the body a 7/10, and the interior an 8/10. The previous owner was in an accident, and I'm guessing he was short on money to get it fixed. To make a long story short, the passenger side fender and bumper was bondo'd together, and it's starting to crack. There are also some other parts of the car that were repainted, including the drivers side door. The tabs for the headlights (low beam only) are also broken, which I haven't been able to fix due to the fender/bumper issue. I'm making the problems sound worse then they actually are. Recent pictures of the car:

It isn't very bad, I've just grown used to it I am honest about everything done to this car. This car has been dead reliable for me since I've bought it, and can get me well into 30+ MPG when driven right. I am looking to get $3500 firm. I think this is a great price for a car that only needs a few small things to make perfect. A/C works perfectly and is ice cold, and the moonroof works perfectly as well. If you are interested, send me a PM and we can work something out. I am located in the Fort Worth, TX area. -Matt This post has been edited by GotToyota: Sep 25, 2008 - 10:52 PM |
