The car is very clean, those pictures were taken without any prep work. The seats and dash havent been polished in about 1.5yrs and they still look great. I have a carfax that seems to confirm Im the 3rd owner, but regardless it has a clean history. Ive tried to do what I could to make the car a comfortable DD and Im really close, but just not there. It runs, but has some issues that I just dont have the time or money to troubleshoot and fix. Ive done what I can do by myself, and I cant afford to bring it anywhere. Its had the garage from when I bought it up until Dec 09, and its painful to look at it out on the street. Here are the issues Im having:

Very intermittent no start, I thought I fixed it after cleaning a few ground straps in 08 but it just started happening again. It will start after a few turns of the key. When it doesnt start all you hear is the starter spinning. Ive tried 2 starters and the one thats in there is a OEM replacement from JNZ.
Sounds great warming up but after its warm it sounds a little rough and is running rich. Will stall sometimes after its warm when slowing down in gear to a stop and the clutch is depressed.
Boost leak somewhere, I cant get it to hold more than 3psi on the tester and I cant hear or feel where its going.
Exhaust leak from a large hole in flex section
Just started leaking a little oil in the pump area, only leaks a little while running. Not enough to notice on the dipstick, but I havent driven the car more than in my neighborhood since Fall 08 and this just started happening.
Still no A/C
Pwr antenna binds on the way back in, will fully retract with a little help.
A/F and boost are in the center vent, and the actual vent that came with the car is crap but I still have it. I also have a dual gauge pillar mount not installed if you want to move the gauges back to the pillar.
Needs an alignment
No floormats
Rear drivers side speaker isnt working
Something plastic vibrates in the backseat at certain rpms

** Edit: No longer for sale.

wish it was running correctly or i had the time for a project right now.... GL with the sale
 

Price drop to $2,800 obo.

This is a good deal, ultra clean car, great starting point for a DD or a project car. With my luck whoever buys this will find some stupid easy fix and I'll kick myself for selling so low.
 

Sale is pending, I will update when/if it's sold. Thanks for the space.

**Edit: They didn't show up this weekend so as of now the car is still for sale.**

Bump.

It's tax return time and the car is still available. I've priced it as low as I can, someone come and take advantage of this great deal.

Sounds like when I sold my 90 GSX for a grand and new owner called and said "hey I found the problem, coil pack"

^^ Lol yeah, that's a kick in the nuts.

I'm working on a spot to store it for the forseeable future because it doesn't seem like it's going to sell. This way I can take a break from it, get it off the street so I'm not looking at it every day, and maybe I'll be motivated to start troubleshooting again after the summer. Thanks again for the space.
 

Edit: Well, I spent a few hours outside in the beautiful weather working on the car and Ive decided not to sell it after all /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif
