Think I found the car. Options

[Fastbird]

I've been picky in what I wanted, and may have found it today. AD HERE

It's a 96, 93K miles, stick, GT hatch, factory fog lights, ect. Everything I was looking for. The catch?? It's been sitting for almost 2 years. The guy's son went to school and now lives in the city, and he finally told his dad to sell it.

Here's the pics he sent.

Looks like a decent car. He replaced the battery but has stated that NO major work has been performed. No biggie to me, I'm a garage mechanic and love working on my cars. It's got an alarm (don't know if it's factory), and all the other goodies sans Leather, which wasn't a prerequisite.

What do you all think?? It looks pretty nice to me, straight, just the one dent. Anyone in the Kinsington NY area who can check it out? Also, the price is OBO, so I'm thinking if I walk in with 5K cash I could be good.

*Edit* Also, it comes with the stock rims and tires. Which is good because I HATE white rims and those would HAVE to go.

Well, I carfaxed it, and it came back very clean with one blemish (This is amusing):

09/01/2001 -- New York Police Report -- Accident Reported, Vehicle involved in crash with pedestrian.

Now, NYPD reports:
--DO NOT include an assessment of damage severity
--Are processed if the estimated damage exceeds $1000

Looking at the pictures of the car, there was either some damn good body work done (because all of the reflections line up wonderfully, easy way to tell) or that dent in the the hatch is what it's about.

I'll be driving up on Friday to look at it. The Air Force is giving us Friday off (yaay--4 day weekend) and my Fiancee' has the day off too, so we're going to make a nice day trip out of it.
