So i have been lurking this forum for a bit. So i Recently Bought this car at a Auction for 1,600 No major Body Damage. Interior for the most part is in great condition. car has 123,... miles i feel like i got a deal on it. Only things i have done to the car since purchase is change oil. got new tires and replaced all speakers and radio unit. shocks as well. going to change spark plugs next week Got the windows tinted as well. this car run's so smooth Its going to be hard not keep spending money on it lol.
I guess ill just have to cut back on my shoe addiction or sell a few so if any of you guys into shoes and are a 9.5 or 10 let me know hahaha.

1600 for a car of that caliber is an excellent deal. Set aside around 2500 to have your timing belt, water pump, plugs, valve cover gaskets, idler assembly and struts replaced and youll have a wonderful running car that'll last forever.

Do the engine/trans mount while theyre in there.

Above all else: keep it clean. Dont bother with the 97+ kit etc, just keep it original.

thats a good looking car. I think the 97+ upgrade is overrated keep it like that plus wheels and lower and drive the hell out of it. lol

Its always a pleasure to welcome a new member, especially one who has a white one. !!!!

Does it have any records or receipts of any work?

Whats your plans so far? These forums have already cost me over 25K in mine, but saved me thousands for repairs and troubleshooting. LOL

Great deal for $1600...I paid $2000 for mine and it's no where near that condition. Stupid buy perhaps, but it is the car I wanted so I got it.

Just get that front lip repaired or replaced, along with a repaint of the front bumper after you finish doing all the mechanical stuff and you'll have a nice stock SC.
