Has 161k on the body and transmission. Engine has 124k, rear end has just about 110k on it (upgraded from stock open 3.08 to the torsen 3.42).

The good:
Engine runs great, trans shifts firm. Flick of the key and fires right up. Was my daily driver, gets 32mpg open highway at 70mph. Last tank I got 30.7mpg with mostly highway and some stop-and-go driving. I've only run Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic in the engine since I've had it.

The bad:
Front left damage from the previous owner hitting a deer, then a winter mishap a long while ago. Cracked front bumper with scuffed paint, driver side fender, and the corner of the hood is a little banged up. Interior has some wear and tear, mostly from the previous owner. Some surface rust on the rockers, moderate rust underneath.

The ugly:
Got wrecked today on the interstate. The passenger rear end got ran into a concrete wall and caved it in Bent the rear passenger wheel and blew the tire. The hatch no longer seals, and the driver side quarter has a wave in it now so it must have tweaked the structure pretty well.

Doors still open and close, can move under its own power (aside from the blown wheel being an issue). All the glass is intact. Nothing from the doors forward got touched by the accident. Mirrors are good, t-tops are good, passenger fender, interior in general (dash pad is intact!), engine, trans, front suspension is fine. Not sure on the rear suspension until I can jack it up and take a look at it. I was too shaken up and sore today to do anything with it.


I've been told I could easily get more than $1000 for it by parting it out (probably get $1000 out of the engine and trans alone), but honestly if I could sell the car as a whole for $1000 and not have to deal with taking it apart, that's fine with me. Maybe someone here needs a parts car, or has the time to part it out and make some money. Hey, the dash pad is a rare one - it isn't cracked lol.

If it doesn't sell as a whole car, I'll be parting it out I guess.

A PM is the best way to reach me. I'm about an hour north of Columbus, OH.
