It's a rwd German hot hatch from the mid 90s with a 5 speed and a limited slip. What more could you want?
Location: Michigan, Metro Detroitish area.
Condition: Good inside and out, dents on the driver side fender and door from a stupid deer
Highlights: Super clean interior. P.O. installed an LSD. It's a riot on gravel. He took good care of the car, addressing most of the "problem areas" like the cooling system and front end bushings. I replaced the driveshaft along with the guibo, trans mounts, and engine mounts at the beginning of the summer. The 16" clubsport wheels have Kumho high performance all-seasons with lots of life left.
Immediate needs: Probably nothing, I drive it at least a few days per week. It was my only daily driver until I got married and started carpooling with the wife. Now I feel bad because it doesn't get driven much.
Potential issues: The rear suspension is worn out. If I kept the car I'd be going through that next summer. There is a fuse that has been popping occasionally, #46 (brake lights, clock, partial instrument cluster)
Reason for selling: "It's a great car and I've loved owning and driving it but... I can either put money into the cool project car or save $$ to go racing with a Chumpcar team." (quoting my own project thread) It's not much of a project thread, just me fixing some stuff
Here's the deal, I love the car. The thought of it leaving my driveway is sad. I bought it from a GRMer who gave me a good deal. Since then I've put love and sweat into it. I'd like to pass that on to someone here before I put it up on CL. If you're interested I'd love to tell you more about the car. Send me a pm and feel free to ask for more details and pictures of specific stuff.
If it doesn't sell in the next couple months I'll probably drive it through the winter and then try again in the spring. I don't mind sitting on it for awhile if you're interested but are far away and need time to make plans to come get it.
You guys get a good deal. I might be interested in a trade, since I'll be replacing it with something else cheap anyway. I like Saturns, (Ford) Escorts , small pickup trucks, station wagons and many other things (worst I can say is no)
On this forum I'm asking $1,700 with wiggle room depending on what goes with it. I have 2 other sets of wheels and a bunch of misc. parts like the stock open diff, extra engine harness, some spare suspension bits, etc.
