Hahaha, love how the damage photo is out of focus .

It does look very minor, though. I thought this thing was written off! Good luck, etc.

just had it aligned last week. drives nice.

Come on its steal.

The suspension alone is worth half the cost. the engine and associated components are worth it as well.

Dude, seriously - if that's the whole damage then fix it & flog it, rather than basically handing the easy money to somebody else.

I'd also spend the time to put the interior back together before selling it, makes it more salable.

Oh, and stop trying to tempt me with offers of the ability to deliver, OK?

yeah but here is the thing.

I need it to drive to and from autocross events cause i cant trailer it. so i need to register it and insure it. thats the first set of extra bills. then i gotta pay to autocross. number two set of extra bills.

At this time in my life i dunno if i can spend the time/ money on a dedicated autocross car. Im just finishing up a part of my schooling and my next step is gonna take up even more time and money so as much as i would like to i just cant.

The only way its staying is if i can work out not insuring/ registering it and all that which wont happen or if my DD satrun gets wrecked in the next month or so.

And of course, if you need it delivered just lemme know and we can work somethign out

Err, my suggestion was that you put it up for sale as a repaired car, not fix it up and then keep it...

I once offered on a car, and was countered less than I offered. I should have taken that as a sign.

In reply to CarKid1989:

Where are you located?

Edit - Nevermind, OH. Much too far away. Good luck with the sale!

So it really just needs a new headlight and a little bit of cosmetic work?

And you have all the removed interior parts?

Where in OH are you located? I'm in Pittsburgh. I don't really need another car but you are really tempting me with the lack of distance.......

Would you be able to get a few more pictures and a better shot of the damage?

Looks like this could be a fun winter project and a toy for next summer. SWMBO just bought a brand new car this week too....
