    Looks pimp. If you can flip it and make a few bucks, do it. IMO, it won't go for very much on eBay without a good paint job.

    Do it. Give it some TLC, and telling how it has low mileage, you should be able to get more than that.

    Re: thinking about buying this...

    i believe there was a thread some time back about that particular car on craigslist. run a check bro... if its the same car then there was a discussion about whether the mileage was truely low or not. i really wish the owner had more pics of the car. pics are worth a thousand words. hehe.. putting all those disputes aside, the car looks real clean from the pics. i believe with some coaxing, you would make her a great runner again. however it wouldnt hurt to know the price down a little....regards, dev......

    p.s. if you do get the work done, remember to post pics of the restoration... we at 1gee would certainly support you all the way...

    Re: thinking about buying this...

    i am not too sure if the rims are stock. seems like the older hatch style rims. regardless she looks clean. i guess you must have fallen for her cause of the colour which matches you car..heh! anyway, if you are gonna close the deal. take some double sided tape with you...a couple of rolls. then removed the second rubber lining on the door. i.e. the smaller strip. of course, do get the owners permission 1st. i say this cause my body shop guy said that people often fitt those strips to cover the massive usage of bondo during the re-painting. the rubber strip covers whatever dings or dents well. but from the looks of it, the car looks pretty mint. so no worries i guess. its just my 2cents.....

    good luck and god bless on your find...
