A little purchase
1997 4 door green GS-R for my sister. :rick: I talked my mom into buying a 5 speed. 
h:
Went to pick up my mom's 4runner at the Toyota dealer and as I'm driving out I see an Integra parked with the used cars, and I spyed a little silver badge below the right rear tailight. So I was like
. So me and my dad go back later to test drive it and we end up buying it for $8700, after they were asking $10000. They just got it out for sale that morning, lucky because I figured it would've been sold in no time if i hadn't jumped on it. 80k, immaculate, looked over throughly by the dealer, owned by an older couple before. Drove really nice. They were looking at auto Camrys and Accords before and I was like :ugh:. Needless to say, someone will be borrowing it on quite a few occasions. :rick: Especially since she's not getting her license for another month and my dad will probably be using it so it'll be registered. My parents are helping her out a lot, lucky her. Also if she crashes it, guess whose buying it back and going nuts. :rick:
Pics in a week or so, still think it's funny that my parents ended up buying her a good car and not some bread and butter shitbox like they were going to. Almost too nice for my sister IMO. Hopefully she won't kill it learning to drive it. :hs:

Yeah, I mentioned a clutch and timing belt to the guy and he tried to BS us into saying the timing belt didn't need to be done until 90k and the clutch was fine. 
We tried to get him to throw in the timing belt and waterpump but he wouldn't budge after $8700. The recommended interval for a timing belt and waterpump is 80k right? I am pretty sure it is. I'll try and make sure they do that soon. Wouldn't want our pretty new C1 to kill itself.
The radiator was really clean looking and the coolant was just flushed. Probably just wait until it looks like it's starting to rot, not a catastrophic item like the T-belt.

I must admit the brakes felt incredible compared to mine though.
