Portland area - 98 i30 Black, Tan leather, 17" i35 wheels
Sooooo, this is the wife's car... she just got a steal on an almost new Accord (fail) and now we don't really have room for her i30. I could keep it for myself, but I have enough cars that I have to pause and count them.
It has 187,000 miles, we bought it at 94k. A majority of the miles were done by commuting 100 miles round trip a day to work and back on the freeway. We also took it to Arizona one year, and LA another time.
Oil is still clean after many miles, always changed with Castrol GTX. Mechanically good/great condition, besides an oil leak from the rear valve cover, and possibly timing cover. The only things I've had to do was change the thermostat, and clean out the EGR tube, also cleaned the throttle body while I was at it. Replaced a rear caliper. I've changed the belts and also the axles recently. And spark plugs have been changed with NGK iridiums as well. All preventative maintenance besides the thermostat and EGR cleaning, quite good considering that is nearly 100,000 miles of use.
Minor upgrades are 17" i35 wheels, with great tread yokohama yk520 and yk580 tires. 35% professionally done/lifetime warranty tint. Short ram intake. Ceramic pads/cross drilled rotors (rears are not installed yet, still on Porterfield R4-S carbon kevlars).
Very minor wear and tear, it's not perfect, and but we've taken fairly good care of it. Rear power door lock sticks when it's cold, and power antenna works but sometimes can't decide if it wants to be up or down, so it's unplugged but reception is still good. It does have a scratch on the driver side windows. Also a ding/dent on the hood and fender from a fence post incident.
A/C works great, stock BOSE stereo still sounds great, everything works. It's a very reliable car, which I why I got it for the wife.
Price dropped to $2500 OBO. Contact me through this thread, or by PM.

Sorry, I was at a slow connection place. I see them now. Looks nice. I was hoping to see the six spoke I35 rims on it but the 5 spoke sport rims look good too. GLWS! :-)
