OK here is the scoop on this car. I took no pics, no need too.

The good:
-Strong 2.0L motor
-Shifts fine, but seemed a little stiff (maybe that's what good bushing feel like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) )
- A lot of the rubber seals replaced in the past couple of years
- Trunks look good & solid, some surface rust in the front trunk.
- No sign of pervious body damage
-Dash is perfect

The bad:
- Rust, jakpost are solid but I can put almost my whole fist in the hole on the back side of the longs behind the posts.
-More rust, sail panel rust bubble approx 5inch circle in area just above the door handle area on the passenger side.
- Passenger door gaps about off. Door sits about a 3/8 inch below the rear fender.
- Rear trunk hinge sprung on driver side
-Front bumper has nice bent (as stated in auction & pictures)
-Front valance damaged below dent in bumper
- seats have minor rips
-Battery tray has rust but didn't look like it has gone through yet.
-Hell hole, again rust but didn't look to have gone through

This was a AA car and yes his kids drive it year round (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
Over all I would give this car a c / c+ asking price is way high, but he is open to offers (thinking 6k ish). A good driver that needs some work.
