Damn, and I was looking for a 5spd w/ OEM kit last year

too bad I'm heading to Norway this fall or I'd be all over that

nice ride!

Prelude Racer · 03-28-2005, 11:53 PM

very interested. I would fly in from Reno to pick up the car and drive it back. Would the car have any problems driving cross country ? also any rust ?

No problems at all...it does a 50 mile daily commute without hesitation.

No rust other than light surface rust on some rock chips on the hood that can be taken care of easily. It would disappear if the rock chips were fixed. All wheel wells and other surfaces are completely rust free.

Are you interested in any trades? I have a 97 240sx with S14 SR20DET and mods to trade if intersted. PM or email me at pmj22000@hotmail.com and let me know. Thanks!

Prelude Racer · 03-29-2005, 09:47 AM

has this car had the 5th gear grind ever ? if so what mileage ? who fixed it ?
does the car have the original clutch ? can i get pictures of the interior and the motor ? how does the car look underneath, I don't expect you to get pictures of the bottom of the car just want your word.

nmehta211 · 03-29-2005, 04:36 PM

Hi,

The car never had 5th gear grind, and the clutch is original and solid. I would not replace it, it has plenty of life left as I have done mostly highway driving on it.

I will try get pics, i am just headed out of town soon, and a few local guys are going to look at it offering $8500.

I will get back to you.

Prelude Racer · 03-29-2005, 06:05 PM

cool glad they are offering you 8500 . If it doesn't work out I am ready to buy with 8000 after i receive motor pics, engine pics and a few mor pics

nmehta211 · 03-29-2005, 08:56 PM

Ok , sounds good...

I think this guy who looked at it today is very interested. He basically wants it as long as I can show him that shock knock is not a big deal.

Emerald99 · 03-29-2005, 09:46 PM

dude, what car are you looking to get? good luck selling it, i hope they buy it.

nmehta211 · 03-29-2005, 11:19 PM

I have my eyes set on a mint E36 m3. Hopefully it will all work out.

Emerald99 · 03-29-2005, 11:56 PM

^^ah word. if you have your medschool parties and what not this summer, let the forum know, i'll drive up with some NJ luders.

vickmeister · 03-30-2005, 05:37 AM

Good luck selling the car. The M3 will suit you well Dr. Mehta.
