Take lots of pictures!!!!!!

 

man so i went there and the asking price was 8.95k and i was like i'll give you 5k cash and he was like no.

bastard and it wasn't even turbo it had a k&n intake on it.

92k miles.. mother ****ers.. i want this car even more now after being in one and seeing what they look like in person.. who wants to loan me 3k

 

Don't rip yourself off like that , checkout the lancer for sale section and talk with a seller , money talks..

 

there's a guy in florida selling his RA. i saw the FS thread yesterday. he said he could ship it to you if you paid for the shipping

 

This

Everyone is selling their ride nowadays.
You can get killer deals.

 

i don't have enough money saved up to buy one off a private owner.. and nobody will give me a loan because i haven't had a line of credit for 3 years yet.. and nobody will co-sign for me.. so right now i'm kind of just in a stupid situation.. i'm not going to buy a 90k + RA and honestly there is none for sale around me for a reasonable price or miles at a dealership .. only option i have to do is save up for 3 or 4 more months.... so i can buy a decent car off someone.. sooo weeak...

 

i've started my search across the nation now. Gonna talk to some dealerships to see if they have ever shipped a car before

One thing i can say is that the motor is strong. I cant recall anyone popping one.

 

i only know of one guy, not sure exactly the circumstance, but i got his LSD and ACT clutch for 600$ shipped from the other side of the country...lol

he was turbo, and i would assume a bad tune is what did it...or maybe the T-belt...but GDS is right, if it is maintained the motor will run strong for a very long time...mine was not maintained, unknown to me, but even roasting a timing belt the repair is not all that bad, the engine will have plenty of miles left in her...i haven't had it a year yet...if you do buy one, be sure to verify maintenance history...that goes for any car...

myself i was in a similar situation a few years back, that's when i bought my 03 lancer ES...only had 80,000 km's on it, which is not bad for an 03, two years ago...i waited a couple years till i could afford my RA...but i needed a car then and there, so i settled for a 6 year old base model, but if you're in no rush i would say hold out, and save your money, you'll be glad you did...

 

i think its otter who has like 200k+ miles on his now? i think i saw that somewhere recently...

 

alright well that's good to hear.. i'm going to figure out how much this one in texas is.. and consider flying out there and driving it home .

 

:cough:

 

By motor popping does GDS mean sending a piston through the block? Or like just an engine failure?

 

I was more or less referring to rod/piston failure when you have maintained the car correctly an haven't done anything stupid with it :cough: Joe :cough:

 

Lol ahh crap okay that sounds like me too then
