Gets me 28-29 MPG city 38-40 on the highway (driving the speed limits)
The Bad:
The engine rattles a little - as best as I can tell, and I've had
several other people listen to it, its not bottom end. Engine has no
knocks on the highway or under load. It just rattles at idle - either a
slight case of piston slap - or more likly its top end noise (valve train)
There is some minor rust, around the inside of the strut towers in the
front, a wire wheel and some paint will fix it - its not rusted through.
A couple rust spots on a couple of the doors... has a few dents and
dings - tires are about 35% tread.
It is an AC car, but the AC has been removed (no compressor,
filter/dryer, condensor, hoses
Power steering pump squeals once in a while (when cold)
Left turnsignal has to be turned off manually - the auto cancel stopped
working.
Windsheild cracked over the winter - if you have inspections in your
state its not going to pass without a new windsheild.
I have a few oil filters I can throw in as a bonus
The car has eibach 1.3 inch lowering springs in it now - its low and the
lowering helped with fuel economy a bit... but the ride is pretty harsh.
If you want the coils swapped out with brand new stock height coils,
I'll do it for you - and I'll have the car aligned.
Asking $2500 - that price is pretty firm considering the vast amounts of
new parts that I put into it.

I have receipts and fuel milage logs
