I recently came across a 1997 ex coupe that is still owned by the original owner, hes a Dr. and only used the car too and from work. He hasnt had any children so all the seats especially the rear are flawless. The car on the inside is cleaner than my 2000 em1. Its a stock d16 5spd, only thing wrong I noticed was that the cv joints need to be replaced maybe the ball bearings. But the ac blows cold, no slipping from the tranmission, it shifts good and motor seems very strong. It only has 100,000 miles to date and I checked out the motor and trans for any oil leaks and I couldnt locate; one also it has been garaged kept for the last 8 years. Should i purchase this car or not reason I ask is because his asking price is 3200. I dont know if its worth it but the I havent seen a 97 this clean lately lmk what youll think and for the people who hate these threads gtfo!

 

its personal opinion. it is in excellent shape, runs perfect owned by an older, more responsible person.

best thing to do is drive around until you find another car and see the difference.
or look at local for sale ads for similar cars to see what the price ranges are.

 

the thing is Ive already test drove the car and its a strong motor still, and I have a k-swapped em1 I had to drive out of town to find something nice in my area all the cars have already been on by this person and by this person and none are in as good shape as this one

 

Is it firm? If your description is true, it sounds fair, maybe a few hundred dollars high but if kept in emasculate condition then go for it.
