Jason, did you go see the car yet?

FYI, door mouldings, rear wiper and the passenger mirror were options for the CX and possibly the VX. Too bad cause my CX has all three.

Ya def a fuck up on the owner, if Honda or any reputable shop fucked up she would have gotten a brand new motor from honda and retained full warranty

is that duct tape wrapped around the end of the filter? :confused:

Door mouldings that were dealer installed options were stick on though, no holes in the car for the clips vs. SI or DX.

I did go see the car this morning, it's virtually stock with the exception of the brakes, wheels, Koni/GC, and K swap.

The chassis has rust on the dog legs and starting on the rear quarters, some paint work, I don't think hood or front bumper were original, the body had a few too many scrapes and dings for my liking.

The install is fairly bare bones, the right parts were used but no lipstick was applied, owner also has NOS dry shot plumbed in and tuned the car himself, seemed smart enough to know what he was doing with the swap/tuning but clearly wasn't building a show car. Engine looked pretty salty, def not the cleanest low mile K20 I've ever seen.

Ultimately if I was to buy it I would still need cage, seats, steering wheel, brake pads (possibly rotors), fluid, lines, and some wheels/tires $$$$ it all adds up quick.

10.5K is just too much, I realize the swap is expensive but I would sooner wait for someone else who is dumping their more "show built" EG/DC/EK with K swap and then just sell off the ricer bits.. it's a struggle to get 10K for a well built K swap car.. never mind a bare bones semi-beat car.

Seller fired me off a text after I left saying he was motivated and he would take 10K lol.. try like 6K and I would still have to think about it.

Nice E36 M3 on BAT in Redmond, WA. Pretty decent price at the moment despite USD / importing costs.

Sadly that's really what the selling price would end up being for a Kswap civic. I ended up selling both of my Kswap for under 9g.

sounds like some good maintenance has been performed, but dodgy panel gap, non oem bumper, tacky interior, oil leaks and iffy paint matching? That's at least 9k CAD- maybe more landed. can't say that's a good buy at all

BAT's standards have gone down the toilet

Not sure if its a good buy, but a LHD manual tranny IS300 is pretty rare.

Fuck me an IS in that colour with a manual trans is exactly what I would love to have.

does being already manual make doing a [edited]2jz VVTi 3.0L Twin Turbo conversion easier, or is it just half the battle... not sure about the electronics involved.

It's sold and seller edited out the price, what was it posted for?

I think it was like 8k.

Not on CL, Autotrader but a real nice unique one.
2008 Saab 9-3X, V6 Turbo (255hp), AWD, manual, 143K, 2 sets of wheels/tires (presumably one set is snow), $7,500. Just look at the sexy lines on that sedan! Not sure but I think that is factory stance ... nice and low!

Just a curious note. How come some posters put SOLD in their titles after they sold the car. Why not just delete the ad?

passive aggressive FU to the low ballers who told them it would never sell for their asking

also occasionally fake ads chumming the waters for alternate sales or ICBC settlement evidence

:sweetjesus: WANT

Also no way that's factory, my neighbour has one that's nearly identical, it's rides much higher. Looks like it has springs.

Just to let you know what you missed out on?

Curious, would you take that Saab, (or any one for that matter), to a GM dealer or another private one for Saabs

2jz Motor VVTi 3.0L Twin Turbo... happy? :rolleyes:

Seller was asking for $8400

It actually got me interested too but oh wells. Its gone now.

bone stock eg, rust in the usual spots (those stupid fender lip gaskets again) but dosen't appear to have completely perforated through (yet), otherwise everything is there and it looks clean considering the mileage....

Ooohhh I like! Where was that car this summer when I was looking for the winter beater? I'd have jumped all over that thing for $7,500!

That would be a pretty high end 'winter beater'!
