well i bought it, definitely some flaws but 90% cosmetic on the interior like trim being cracked and just whats to be expected with 11 years of life. paint is alright a few scratches all over 2 dings and the front fascia was probably resprayed near the bottom from pulling into places too far. 1 fog light missing, maybe forgotten or broken when working on the respray?
i was hearing a rubbing/ grinding noise when i turned hard lefts and saw it could have been the worn exhaust hangars allowing the exhaust to move enough to touch moving parts so we fixed that and will find out tomorrow if it was solved.
mechanically the car is amazing, drives straight brakes work great and engine/trans/rear end work perfectly. took the car through the mountains and stretched out her legs.
also seems to have aftermarket bolt in subframe connectors and a strut tower brace. i dont think either of those were an option
DEFINITELY happy on this purchase, great car/project car.

Well the sound continues, we played around with all the wheels on jacks and they seem fine but it still has this metallic rubbing or grinding when turning left without it in gear. I don't know if anyone else has had an issue like this

oh and it is getting a P0300 for multiple random misfires but i talked to the guys at summit and they said its not a big deal its either a coil pack or spark plug but since its not showing signs of a misfire that its probably just the computer reading a slight difference and throwing a code.
