well........your gonna laugh probably.....but can you guess...what would be the one major thing that would make such a car so cheap.....this new baby of mine....has quite a long track record...shes traveled 1/4 of a million since she was bought in nov. of 1995. so yep 250k on her (hence the rebuild) and then of course she has a few little kinks here and there, a rip in the int. (vinyl on the door), messed up washers and i think the cat is clogged....so yea she was def. in need of some TLC, which is what shes getting, but for probably close to 2000 she will be restored nearly to her former glory...thanks for caring man, maybe in the next few weeks when shes done i can show her off in raleigh somewhere.
probably one of the most interesting things is that the guy i bought it from was the original owner, he was solely responsible for every mile on her. another cool thing about it was this car was bought @ southern states in raleigh.....just interesting to me!!!

coolness.
still, even with the flaws, that's one helluva deal. i've heard of non-running S14's going for near twice that much. it's cool that the car is (way) local. i mean, to have originally been purchased right there in Raleigh, that's crazy. and don't worry about showing her off. God, my S13 is soooo busted right now. and i'm not sure if it's gonna get better anytime soon because i'm ressurecting a Conquest TSi right now, too.
someday, i'd like to see this great windfall of urs.
