I'm getting ready to post this up to the masses in a week or two once I get time and weather to wash it, but figured I'd throw it up on here first. I bought it on here, from DanO, about a year ago, and it's been a great commuter for me. 288k on the clock, with a new shortblock and turbo at 160k (I have dealer documentation of this).
The good:
ECS catted downpipe
Interior is 9/10, some small cracking on drivers side bolster
Brand new Crankshaft position sensor
New rear brakes/calipers/rotors/soft lines
Everything electronically and mechanically works, shifts, and goes down the road wayyyy better than a 288k car has any business doing.
Nearly new Kumho Ecstas mounted on TSW nurburgrings (10' wheels, the clear is peeling), AND a set of stock wheels with firestone winterhawk snows, 2 seasons old.
The bad:
intermittent CEL (I'm gonna pull the code tonight, but pretty sure it's emissions related)
It has an exhaust leak near the muffler
It's got some rust, but nothing that can't be fixed and mitigated. Worst spot is in front of the passenger rear wheel. Some minor rust showing on both front door edges, and the drivers front fender. I have a bodymatched spray rust repair kit new in the box that I'll toss in.
AC compressor leaks. It should be replaced, but it lasts almost exactly a summer on a recharge... just full disclosure.
A small-ish dent on the back hatch
Otherwise, it's been a great car to me, just I've moved into something newer is all. I was going to give it to my 15 year old son, but he has no interest in using both feet...
More Pics available upon request. GRM deals are welcomed, but I'm unwilling to go below $3000 at this moment.
