Im listing my car that I dont drive very much any more due to my back problems and having a kid. This car is just to small for me right now and its use is getting less and less.
Specs on car. Keep up,Ive done alot to it.
97 body and original trans. I think the mileage on it is some where in the 197k range. Dont let that number get to you. I have had saturns go into 400k.
Auto trans. Serviced earlier this year with new filter and top off of fluid. Valvoline Dex 3.
Muffler was replaced with a stainless fart can since the orginal one rusted the hell off. Do I like the fart can,NO,but it works and it wont rust off. It was welded on and I made a new hanger for the muffler. I did not modify the orginal hanger.
The brakes are good and are roughly above 50 percent all the way around. The pads are life time through Orielly's. The rear are also I believe,and I can check. The rear calipers I replced through KOI. They were replaced in November of 2011.
Tires are "ok",maybe around 40-50 percent remaining.
The car would also come with a pair of snow tires,bought new last year and used one snow season. They come mounted on white steel honda civic rims,all I did was transfer two tires to the white rims and I had a set.
Black cloth interior with a fancy leather shift handle. Alpine CD player and Kenwood front door speakers and rear deck speakers. It has the remote lock/unlock key fob and a remote start that I installed for the winter months. It gets nice and toasty in there.
The engine was replaced,by me 2 years ago. I bought this car with a rod knock from a friend in wisconsin. I replaced the engine with one from a 99. This is the new designed head and bottom end. The engine when I bought it had 140k on it. I also had to get the new updated down pipe from the manifold and weld it to the existing exhaust. Every thing looks fine and nothing looks hacked together. And it all bolts up correctly. The engine mount (right upper) is some what new,I replaced it earlier last year. I just put new ignition wires on it 2 weeks ago. Also lifetime. One coil pack was replaced.Lifetime. The ECT sensor was replaced for the correct brass one along with a new T-stat.
When I replaced the engine I also did a complete coolant flush and switched to standard green coolant. The radiator is also new,with lifetime from Smyth auto.
I changed the oil on time every time. I use Wix filters and Kendall Semi synthetic 5w-30 oil. It burns a little bit of oil,but you cant find one that doesnt. It has to do with the oil control rings on the pistons. And it only smokes when it sits and idles for a few minutes.
The car runs great,and gets 30-32 MPG. I drove it to Indy a few weeks ago. The only reason I am wanting to get rid of it is I dont fit into it very well. I have a herniated disc in my back and stooping to get into the car hurts like hell and makes me want to throw cats at my neighbors. And I need to get new tires for my truck.
This is the perfect beater/work car or Highschool/new driver car. You cant hurt the damn thing. Its made from freakin tupperware.
I have pics on my phone and can send them VIA email or text message. I cant post pics because my work computer wont let me link them. Ill post pics when I get home if I remember.
I want 1500 bucks for it. Only thing I will trade for is rims and tires for a 04 powerstroke and some cash to boot.
let me know what you have.
