View Full Version : Contemplating trade... my 95 SE for your...?

Just an idea, thought I'd see if it generated any interest. I have a 95 SE, burgundy, 81k miles in pretty good shape. It has some light dings here and there, nothing major. The front and rear bumpers have some peeling/fading, I had planned on fixing that if I keep the car. It's an auto tranny, which is why I don't really care for it. There's a long story behind why I got this car, but I can sum it up with:

Guy has all show Civic, about 120 hp to the wheels
Civic gets stolen
Guy gets MKIII Supra Turbo, about 320 HP to the wheels
Guy spins out in the rain and wraps Supra around a power pole
Guy needs a car fast, way sick of looking
Guy finds a great deal on a decent car, decides to take it
Guy is a little too tall, hoping an older gen has a little more headroom, or maybe it's the sunroof which I never open


There we have it. Anyways, the car is bone stock, with the 15" mesh style factory wheels (why didn't I get the 16s?) no spoiler, no leather, AC works well, shifts smoothly, interior a 7.5 out of 10. The only thing I've done is add an oldschool Alpine tape deck, 6 disc changer, components up front, amp for the comps, amp for subs, and a nice 10. This car would make a great platform for building up, I just don't have the cash or motivation since I don't fit too well (I'm 6'4") and don't enjoy the auto)

I'd like to maybe trade for an S13, in good shape of course. Mods a plus, but reliability is a must, no high mileage.
Or possibly an S14 if it doesn't have a power sunroof, maybe that will give me more room?

I'm just kicking around ideas, I'm located in The bay area, CA. Email me with any ideas you have, [email protected]

Thanks!

I have the same problems sometimes....I'm 6'2".  Especially when I have autocross events.  Luckly, my 97 has a sunroof that I can open.  

Would you maybe be interested in selling?  I am looking for a daily driver, and an auto would be nice for the commute between work, college, and home during the week...damn highway traffic. Let me know how much if you are interested.

I might be interested in selling it I suppose... For around $6000? Blue book for this car in "fair" condition is 7200, so I guess that's a good deal. That's also about what it would take for me to get something else I might like more. Let me know if you're interested.

I am 6'4" I fit ok. My head grazes the roof a bit. And The wheel does get in the way a bit but not much. I don't "heel toe" I "side of foot" downshift &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;My foot is wide enough to do that i guess. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/satisfied.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':satisfied:'>
