New Car!!(Pics)

Well, after figuring out which max I wanted to get for a platform to turbo, I looked all over the place. Then, magically, I saw this car. A 94 SE 5spd with Black leather interior. There wasn't a VE 5spd within 1100 miles of me before this, I dunno how I lucked out on it. Just picked her up tonight, took 3 pics, couldn't get any better cause it's dark.

The white spots on the paint are water droplets

The interior is perfect. Sunroof and all. 140k on clock with NO VTC ticking!! I think I paid a fair price considering I couldn't find one anywhere near me. Picked her up for $3200.

-Gonna do some work tomorrow, including removing the foglights, they're pretty bad.

You need to request an administrator change your name now

Nice looking car. Blue is nice and looks good with the black leather.

You didn't say where you are located that there isn't a VE 5-speed for sale within 1100 miles...

For a few hundred more you could have bought the car MrGone just sold.

We all just enjoy picking on car purchases
the most important thing is that you are happy with your purchase

You have a GXE Automagic. Quite a bit of a difference.

Finding a VE 5-speed is quite a bit harder, unless you are Internetautomart...

Good find man, 5-speed+Blue+leather+sunroof is the perfect combo IMHO.

Thanks guys. And I actually did look at MrGone's car. But he's 3000 miles away from me. I live in Fort Lauderdale. I would have to tack on $1000+ in shipping :P

Nice looking car! Congrats, that is a rare find indeed. I looked for a car just like that for months until I bought awsm66's car. Enjoy!

Yeah, there is a little surface rust in some spots. Nothing rusted through though. I'm gonna sand it all off and paint it. Floorboards and fender wells are rust free though. The car was definately from up North though, we don't have rust down here.

Amazingly beautiful car man. Great find. Your shifter is turnin into the way mine was when I purchased my 92' back in August.

Question to you 3rd gen interior experts, the one in mine wasn't the blackest interior available!? I thought the dash and door panels are as dark as it gets on mine. Seeing Tom's is a bit darker than mine, has got me a bit worried. Looks like his dash and glove box are a bit different in color as well.

It could be because your car is cloth and mines black leather. I know the door inserts are different on our cars, maybe the dash was lighter with grey cloth?

Probably.. Is that glovebox original? Looks a bit off along with whats under it.

Or could be just the pic.
