its a great car ... nearly flawless inside and out, strong running engine with only 81k miles on it (after an 8 hr drive to get it home) ... unmodified and unmolested, 1-owner, never wrecked, etc.

someone said it might be BP3, although none of the other pictures of BP3 cars ive seen look like this one ... my car is quite "blurple" as i call it now, blue in daylight and purple at night which is what people say BP3 tends to look like but idk

didnt notice that thread, my bad ... i had looked at a color chart thread the night before, but was indecisive and i thought FN2 had a hint of green

and stealth, the car was at a dealership so it ran me just above KBB after the taxes, document fees, etc. - not cheap by any means, but i was extremely picky and wanted an unmodified car with low mileage so i think it was worth it :)

That's FN2, you're lucky it's a '96 model. '95s only came with green interior in that color.

Gotta love southern cars. '68 Camaros with original paint look that good. I bet every bolt underneath that car will come off easy too

Or did you get it from up north?

You got this from Northwest Indiana didnt you

:coolugh: idk, why?

and the car isnt a southern car, but its pretty clean ... inspected the underside before i bought it, frame rails are rust-free and strut mounts a rust-free ... some of the suspension bolts will take some persuasion whenever i decide to upgrade the suspension on this car, and the muffler has a bit of rust but its no big deal to me

The "Team" license plate. There are like 4 Team dealerships by my house, I can't believe I missed out on this lol. Nice find. Which dealership did you get it from?

why don't you just look at the ID plate in the engine bay. It will list the paint code.

My car is BP3

I dunno why a mod hasn't locked this yet. Don't want to be a dick or wannabemod or what not.

but this would be a step in the right direction, not the IDENTIFY THIS thread.

i checked today: it is BP3 ... had been traveling all day yesterday, just got the car and didnt think to look at that plate in the engine bay - my toyota had the interior and exterior colors listed on the VIN sticker in the door, and the S14 didnt have it there which is why i asked, sry

oh, and i picked it up at Team Imports VW/Audi dealership in Merrilville IN or something, flew in to O'Hare tho

Yipee, you found it.

You're one step closer to not being worthless.
