I bought my 98 convertible for $250 and put about $1,000 into it to make it near mint. I bought a 97 Liftback for $600 and had to put maybe $300 into it to make it near mint...

No one is being is being rude on here by saying 4k for a car with damage,rust and missing parts is too much, they're being honest with you.

It's a ST instead of a GT also so if anyone wants to motor swap it to a 3sgte they have to do more work...

It's the little things...when I sell cars on the side (which I do as a hobby and to make extra $ having 3 kids) I make sure the car has ever last part that it can have to get top dollar. Not having the shift boot....which is a $9 part is super lazy and people won't like that food/dry skin/dust have fallen down into the cables,etc.

Thanks for you input. I have a shift boot, but not the manual shifter surround since this was an auto. Again, I don't actually want to sell this car so the price is high but open for someone to make a cheeky offer. If I said 4k firm I could see the point. To quote Barbossa - "They're more like guidelines."

Thanks all.
