I found a nice looking notch that has a better inside than the 93 I was looking at. The car also has a lot less surface rust on the underside than the 93 did. The price is lower more of my budget and it's my fav. of them all a notch back. The car is red with only 74,000 org. miles on the stock motor and body. It's a 5-speed and I got to test drive it today also....

First start-up after changing the battery, and it fired right away. I started it and it turned over easy and fired right away with no surging or anything of that matter. It was freezing out today and it idled at about 1400-1500 rpm and went down as it warmed-up. The idle was nice and smooth and she was really quiet...it's stock.

First drive, Pulled out (I havent drove stick for almost 6 months ) And it kicked sidway but was easy to correct. The gears shift smooth and the clutch feels great (tat has been replaced he said along with the normal tune-up stuff).
I think it ran better than my moms 02 cavalier witch stalled out as I was leaving .

The Car looks pretty good, I will see if I can get the cell pics I took. They are crappy and don't do it any justic 4 the car. The only thing that it has is a different hood/clutch and everything else is factory.

I have it on hold untill thursday when I talk to some more people on if I should go for it or not, the only thing holding me back is 2 small spots of rust on the rear trunk, easy fix. The pass. door had some rust on the inner part of it at the bottom but I'm looking to just replace the intire door and call it that. The only other blemish was on the roof, their was a small dent that would be easy to pop out and it's not that bad. Total price would be $5800 out the door and I think thats good because we started out at $6500 + tax/title/fees.....about $7K.

This guy was nicer than the last and was willing to work with me. I think it's a good deal because it only has 74,000 miles on it. It's a red 89 notchback.

With the low miles and the fact it is stock and hasn't been tampered with, I say go for it. But I think we need pics! Good luck and have fun with it.

I'm not too sure yet but how much no2 can these things take with the stock motor? If i do get it I'm taking out a lot of extra weight crap and putting a small shot to it when it gets warmer. I have a nice kit sitting next to me that can't wate to get to work.
