A few pics after I washed it this afternoon. Pics look terrible, so I'll have to take more. I thought I had the correct settings on the camera but I guess not. Color is more of a metallic gray than bright silver like the pictures look. Also the interior looks A LOT better in person. The camera washed out everything.










I took some Lexol and cleaned/conditioned the leather as Jay recommended them. In person, they look amazing. I need to do a few more applications of conditioner as the seats are still a little hard as I don't think any of the previous owners took care of the seats. I took them out on Saturday and gave them a thorough cleaning. Lexol makes a great vinyl cleaning/protecting product, in a blue bottle (Can't remember the name of it) but that is by far the best interior product i've ever used. Interior looks simply stunning now.

Today I'm changing the spark plugs, trans and rear diff fluids and then cleaning the engine bay. I'll snap pics of those when i'm done.

Drove my 6 year old to school today in it. It was a bit cold outside but she loves riding in that car. Sinec i's only a 2 mile drive to school I'm not owrried about the airbag but i'm still researching how to disarm it when I want to.

Usually I find great deals on Craigslist but I actually found this on Autotrader. I believe he was asking 9K but I talked him down to 7k. Poor grad student who needed to sell the car asap. Turns out he purchased it for 15K a year earlier and I have a warranty that last for another 30K!!! Love this car.

Oh, it has a brand new clutch as well.
