Hey guys geo newbie here by the name of Justin. I can across this website while searching google. I am looking at picking up a 97 3/5 3 door here in town that is for sale. I am currently a college student that is a moving to Texas for school so I am looking for a reliable car that gets good gas mileage. The metro here in town has 280k miles on it but the owner put in an engine at 210. He says that it runs really good but it also pops out of 5th gear. The asking price of the car is $1350 which I am sure I could talk him down some. What do you guys think? Thanks |

Welcome aboard! I would first find out if the title is clean, then go see it in person, take pics of the interior and engine compartment and post them here for all of us can have a look |

Welcome to your new forum, JDMFan87! If it is a California car and it passed smog that is a good thing. But even $1350 in Calif. is rather cheap considering the price of gas. Put a down payment on it if you can and then post pics but if not... You would still want to check the link: Buyer's Info The popping out of 5th could be a motor mount, especially at 280K and that is fixable with 3M Window Weld. |
