Bought it!
We settled on $19k. Other than a very small dent in the rear bumper the car is absolutely spotless and all stock. The engine bay needs a good steam cleaning but other than that the car is amazing and pristine. I realized I'm a little big for the car(6'2) but i'm only going to drive it on sunny Sundays so who cares.Will pick the car up tomorrow and will snap some pictures and hopefully learn from you experts.

You will love it. Once you drive it for a while, I predict it sees some time on Saturdays too. Also Mon., Tues, Wed., Thurs, and Fri.

At 6'2" you'll want to get a BYS seat rail. I'm also 6'2" and though its only a 1" drop it helps a lot. Especially with legs clearing under the wheel.

Good advice I have seen here many times is to wait a year before you decide to do some kind of mod. You will find it is a really great car just out of the box.

If you plan to track, you'll want to replace the oil squirter banjo bolts with the uprated ones...and then do all the stuff s2ki recommends. Rear axle nut retorque, clutch interlock bypass, valve retainer check and valve adjustment, clutch rod adjustment.

and buy quality new tires. and don't crash.

well bought.

Yes, I think I need to do that. Appreciate any info on this.
