My winter car is up for sale. Mechanically, it's perfect, even with 145,xxx miles. Been a fantastic little car for the 7 years I've owned her. Brakes were done 4k mile ago, and the clutch is nicer than the GTO. I would love to keep her around, but I've gotten an absolutely fantastic deal on a truck that I can't pass up, so I need the parking space.

As Mike on Wheeler Dealers would say, it's just an honest little motor. There are some flaws, given it was a winter only car.

- The paint isn't perfect. It has lost some clear coat on the fender, and I took off the side moldings which marred it a bit. It is rust free though, only cosmetic.

Other than that, she is ready to rip, and is actually a fun car to drive with the 5spd. It gets 35mpg consistently, and has never left me stranded.

- I have all maintenance records for everything I've ever done to the car. Every oil change and tire replacement. She may have been the winter car, but rest assured, she was not neglected.

UPDATE I spent the cash for the A/C Recharge kit and it blows super cold now. No issue there, she'll handle all the summer driving you can throw at her.

I'm an open and honest guy, any questions, let me know.

Just threw a coat of mothers on her just to see how the paint cleaned up. Doesn't look too bad! So you need to buy this mother.

Seems like a good deal. I see you are local (I'm in Aston). With gas the way it is, I'm surprised why nobody has picked this up. Hell, if I didn't have a mint Scion xA, I'd probably pick it up for myself! TTT

Thank you sir. I was thinking the same thing, I thought I would have to fit off buyers with a stick.

It's a Sunfire dude...and you are talking to mostly guys on this forum. Just put it on Craigslist and it would have sold by now.

Still here. And thanks...but it is on craigslist, cars.com and autotrader. And it's not a chick's car, but you're more than welcome to tell your wife/girlfriend what kind of car to drive.

Cheapest, best maintained Sunfire out there. Somebody come get her!

Another bump and price drop!I can't believe I'm letting her go so cheap. Check autotrader, cars.com etc, this is SUPER cheap.


NADA says it's worth $1k more than asking price! http://www.nadaguides.com/Cars/1997/...oupe-2D/Values

Don't miss out! Get a great DD!
