#86554, "F/S 97 GST"

Up for sale is my 97 Black Eclipse GST w/105xxx miles (Manual Trans). The car is my d.d., and I need to sell it A.S.A.P. Im heading back to school and I cant afford to throw any more time or money into the car. It does need some help in a few areas. I will try my best to describe the condition of the car and what it needs/has.

Interior:
The car has all gray leather interior. The drivers side seat does show wear on it, as well as the passenger side seat. The dashboard and center console are in pretty good shape. The power windows and sunroof work, but the power door locks do not. Cruise control, front and rear wiper, headlights, fogs, turn signals, rear defroster all work fine. The a.c. runs nice and cold.

Exterior:
The car is a 97 and it is black so it is starting to show its age. First off, the car is in need of a new paint job. The paint is starting to "spiderweb" in some areas. The car was also keyed by some low life mother f'er across the entire passenger side from front to rear fender. I managed to buff out some parts of the scratch that wasnt down to the metal, but the majority of it is still visable. It was also keyed along the top of the turbo wing and just underneath it on the hatch itself. The car is also going to need a new front bumper. There are a some door dings here and there as expexted. The car does have the potential to look great when its nice and clean and waxed, but like I said before, I just dont have the money to put into this project.

Engine:
I haven't done much to the car in terms of mods. The only aftermarket parts that I put on are K&N FIPK kit, and intake. Thats it. Everything else with the car is stock. The transmission needs work. The 2nd gear synchro is pretty much done. It grinds when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. 1st to 2nd gear shift is good, as are all other gears. Not surprising since everyone knows this is common with dsm trannies. The engine runs strong and the turbo still pulls hard. There are no signs of crankwalk. Since owning the car, I have only used Full Synthetic oil at every 2,500 to 3,000 miles. I had all accesory belts changed (approx. 5-6,000 miles ago) and timing belt as well. The car does have a brand new alternator and battery(installed approx. 10,000 miles ago) as well as brand new front brake pads (installed approx. 2,500 miles ago). The clutch master cylinder was replaced as well appox. 12-15,000 miles ago. Brand new KYB GR2's were installed in the front approx. 8,000 miles ago. The front sway bar bushings need to be replaced. I went and got new ones from my local satan but never got around to having them put in. The car sits on the stock grey 5 spoked rims, but I do have the stock chromies, so I'll be willing to include those in the deal. The tires are also pretty brand new, with about 75-80% tread left.

As stated before, Im looking to sell this car A.S.A.P. So if anyones interested or know of anyone interested, please feel free to contact me via email at B.Ildefonso@Gmail.com. I'm looking to get between $1,500 -$2,000 for the car. The car is located in the N.Y. Metro area. Local sell and pick up of the car is prefered, but if buyer is willing to arrange pick up and delivery on there own, thats fine. I'd be willing to help out as much as I can. Pictures of the car can be furnished upon request or you can view my gallery on dsmtuners.com(name: iculookn410). This will be posted on other DSM boards as well. Thanks for looking.
