Def an awesome deal. However. I know I can find rust on your car. especially if you live in maine. Let me check out the car since you dont live that far. I will bet you $20 bucks I will find something. :P

I wouldnt pay that, personally...
But yea total for the car is a good price.
As for the $300 max, good deal, but this is the most pointless thread ever. Are you trying to show off that you got a cheap car?
Congrats but this is pointless
#20
yea i know $1000 for the install is steap but the thing is i wanted to get all the engine work done at one place so i would have warranty at one place... meaning if something went wrong theres no "he say she say" ya know? but like i said... first car
#21
my max is my first car.
#27
fart can? hahah its a stillen someone took the original stillen tip off and welded the huge tip onto it.
#28
Don't take any offense though, its just my opinion. The Max was an awesome deal for the price you got it and I looks great
#32
I don't care for the sound it makes. I've heard the stillen mufflers in person before and it still sounds like rice in my opinion. AND technically, if some took the less ricey stillen tip and put a bigger tip, then I still consider it a fart can

Its the exhaust like a civic hatch or a celica or something wld put on there cars. It makes it "high performance" but sounds like the car is farting.

OP:
Can you post some interior shots? The body looks fine based on the pictures you have posted. I guess my 95SE, 5-speed, with 82,200 one-owner mostly highway miles on it has some life left. I had the tranny rebuilt last summer as the diff bearings were shot and replaced the clutch components at the same time, although they had years of life left in them.
