Looks pretty clean to me.

Not a bad price either. I'd say go for it if that's what you want.

I say it's not worth it. The price seem alot.

It being $3275 just for the shell + another $3500 for the B18C=almost $7,000 car.

LOL....I didn't know you are on this site too. Sorry, Ralph, I didn't know it was a salvage title, and I do want to sell the car later on.

And...I am not the only one here that thinks the price is a bit too high.

I mean...I didn't know it was salvaged "before" I want to see it in person. I thought it's a clean title from your advertisement.
Anyhow, good luck on selling the car Sorry for wasting your time.

I dont get you people...not directed to you neo...the car the way it is is a steal at 3k...if I did a cheap $800 paint job that would look good for 6 months, and threw in an ls motor and tranny(1200)...I could fetch $7000 and dont tell me No b/c my boy just sold his for $6800 with a gen1 b16. Which is a 12 year old motor with no power.

no stock hatchback shell with an imperfect body/paintjob is worth three grand. you may get people to buy them for that, but they aren't worth it. if you can put a 6-month paintjob and a LS motor in the thing and get seven thousand, why haven't you already done that?

You gotta be kidding , over 3k with a salvage title ? Am I mistaken or this car doesn't have a motor either ?

Have you shopped around on the net for used EK's ? Honestly, right now I could show you 5 EK's that aren't much more than 3 grand, don't have a salvage title and still run. Reason I know is I'm shopping right now...
