I actually really like those rims. And the car looks in pretty good shape cosmetically. I know it doesn't speak for much else other than the fact he had good taste, but at least it's not tacky and completely molested. Hope you pop the hood/test drive it and find a beautiful, leak free, nearly factory B16, solid transmission and mint interior... imo it would be totally worth his asking price if you did.

well, i am extremely dissapointed. the EM1 was a disaster stained interior, torn seats, relocated the tweeters into the door panels by cutting a hole near the door handle. rewired speakers and left the cables dangling in the trunk. the paint was over sprayed into the interior, the head gasket was "new" but leaking. AND THE BEST PART OF ALL!!!!!! he took out the check engine light...... thanks to everyone for mentioning to check that out. tires were practically bald, the brakes were almost gone, there were small spots of rust along the trunk lid and door jamb on the passenger side, the steering wheel was upside down it was so out of alignment. I asked him about all these things, told me they were all good to go, i drove 2 hours north to go see it, and now im pissed as f**k. Wasted my entire day for nothing. And he wouldnt budge off 4700, claiming he could sell the car as is for that price any day. i told him good luck and went on my way. I apologize for the largeness of this and the ranting but im so effing pissed.

Next time be a d**k and ask for pictures of every last f**kin thing in the car. That's what I always try to do and when the people back out something is usually wrong.

yep. i learned my lesson. i just made a phone call to a new seller, hes an hour away, i told him to go have a photo fiesta and send me no less than 15 pictures covering every aspect of the car then ill consider driving up there. i f**kin hate these people man. just sell the damn car with no bullshit, if its busted then say its f**king busted. pisses me off man.

been a stressful weekend. insurance dropped me from their policy etc etc. guy blew me off twice with some bullshit. still making the effort to see the damn thing though, for 3750 and clean title no accidents all florida life and two owners i want it! said i can meet up with him today around 4-5 pm so ill be waiting eagerly to see if he blows me off again. but he made the mistake of telling me where he lived by with and intersection and everything. time to go knocking on doors! lol jk jk. but he sure has made buying his car a mission. havent found anything new besides this one. Every single link on craigslist and autotrader is purple and has been looked at haha. Updates to come later this evening!

Hope the EG isn't a pile of s**t like the other cars you looked at (that looked good starting out) ended up being.
Looks good so far!
