This is actually one of my dream cars, couple of questions though

Is the price he is asking considering the miles too much?

Would fixing the issue be expensive at a mechanic?

I know almost nothing about working on cars would this be a good place to start?

I also don't know how to drive stick but I'm pretty confident that I can learn in a few months if that

Note, I already own two other cars, so I have no rush in getting hooked up..

:ehh: I'd buy it, fix it and flip it.

Make sure the motor runs and the clutch and transmission aren't fukked up.

Crack pipe for 1500.

Not even an RS or anything interesting. Looks like a fukkin tweaker had it.

I would prob buy it for the drivetrain and get a FFR 818.

Ya i only noticed yesterday that it wasn't the RS, although all RS parts do fit allegedly

Na dude who owns Works at bimmer dealership, just had it sitting around

How far is said project going? You can probably do some work to it but at 229k miles you might have to replace too much of the car over time. Then mixing in old and new can be hairy, etc.

In a nutshell, does the care outweigh the potential work?

Never ended up getting it, if it had been the RS or a older model STI, I would have

Still want me one of those or a older Evo
