First the details, I'm disclosing everything I know about this car, so there should be no surprises.
Year: 1993
Mileage: 186xxx
Transmission: 5 speed
Trim: Hatchback STD model(lightest) Aztec Red
Asking Price: $1500 firm, reasons: a) its a KA24DE b) its already manual c) $500 worth of repairs were already done, yes I know you don't get paid for that but still. d) good tires, except for that bad one. e) with fast and furious 3 around the corner it'll be worth like 2500 :P

Whats wrong with it
-Wheel studs are stripped. And pretty bad, they go in very rough. Very cheap fix though. And if you want I can sell you ARP Extended Wheel studs for $40(they cost $80)
-seats have wear spots, I can throw in some black/gray seat covers, and another set of blue seats, or you can buy some aftermarket seats from me.
-Washer nozzles don't work, from the looks of it the pump for that is broken
-tint is purple
-1 tire is leaking air majorly
-1 of the red rear side markers is cracked(I have a replacment, which will come with the car), beides that all glass is good.
-1 of the shock towers is polished, when i was trying to remove the rust, there is still some there but very minor. I spray painted over it with clear coat so it shouldn't rust any more.
-there is a minor dent on the rear 1/4 panel.
-sometimes its hard getting it into reverse, have to force it in.
-has some scratches here and there.
-battery died on me over the winter, so it'll need a jump to get going.
-brakes seem rusted...for the same reason also
-front bumper has some paint pissing.
-antenna isn't hooked up(my first stereo install and I forgot to put it in.
-there might be an exhaust leak, since the car is pretty loud.
-probably needs an oil change
-ebrake goes up a lil bit too fast, not too certain if it works.
-one of the bolts holes holding the passenger seat rusted off cleanly.
-car is not registered currently.
Overall nothing major for a 13 year old car.
The good.
-Runs strong, and is a KA24DE
-its a 5 speed
-good tires, the one that leaks air should be patched up and should be good as new. Tires still have the little nipples on them.
-Interior was fixed, new shift boot, new shift knob, new floor mats, cd player, din pocket. When i got it, all that was gutted.
-Exterior was somewhat fixed too.
-I will also include a set of OEM headlight motors, and oem headlights.
-its already wired for a sub
-doesn't seem to be leaking oil
-clear car fax
-inspection good till 2006, I think june
-clutch seems to be working fine
-timing chain was changed 2 years prior to my purchase of it, so i'd say about 30K miles ago
Anyways the story: I bought the car last may, and its been sitting in my garage since then, I fixed the interior, fixed the exterior somewhat, and did the lighting. Pretty much in that whole time, the car was driven 30 miles from the guy's house to mine. It drove fine, except the handling sucked cuz the tires were bald as hell. Then I put my car for sale hoping for a quick one so I could drive the 240, but lets just say there was absolutely no interest so I finally decided to keep it, and sell the 240.
