i happened to get lucky one day searching the wanted section here on the org and i found a white 98 se w/ tan leather only 85k miles w/ everything but heated seats and got it for $4200, mostly cause it was a salvage title. i kinda got screwed and ended up having to pay for my lack of thought rushing into the deal because i have spent about $1500 on repairs. but it still ends up being a LOT cheaper than what you paid, i say keep looking, and good luck.

 

*sighs* i did a carmax national search. only things i found was $10k with 110k miles.

I honestly don't think the car is that bad. The guy told me about the rear bumper, he said it was from parking (mainly other people hitting him)and he messed up the front grill himself. the 5 spd is out of the question because i only have 4g's and the parents are putting up the rest. P/S i really have no clue on that.
