It's an '04. The body is very nearly rust free, the engine runs very well, the suspension behaves perfectly, quiet tight and smooth. All the lights
work, tires are good, the 5 speed tight and quiet also. Drives really well.
But here's the lesson I learned today. Starting with 14% tax on $950 (redbook value) at DMV. As nice as this little cutey is, it's gonna need......
Well I thought the exhaust leak was just the donut gasket at the manifold, it was, but the manifold is also shot and there are Expensive
$400 plus installation. The clutch (for the five speed) is slipping a little, just needs adjustment? WRONG needs a clutch kit $250 plus install 3-4 hours.
Windshield is cracked $275 plus install. Radio doesn't work (no antenna). So now were up to about $2,000 and counting (it will need tires in a couple of months).
Oh and the alternator, battery, and power steering pump don't look too healthy.
I might cut my losses, see if I can get $500 for it tomorrow, What a deal!!
My wife, says "let's fix it" it's cute and it'll be fun for ya" Maybe she's right.
