( Gauging intrest - Feeler ) '03 cav....
Saturday, January 22, 2011 7:11 AM
Wife needs an automatic...and I am unwilling to teach her to drive a standard ( rather no have to do a clutch job in the dang snow )......Looking to do a trade......This is a feeler for now until I see what's out there for trades and get more feed backseat from these local dealers.......it's an '03 coupe, 5 speed, blue, 180k miles.....High miles but still gets 30+ MPG...I drive it every weeks day over 100 miles and have had no issues except needing a turbo to piss a few folks off.....does great in the snow...I have had no collisions.......the car has no rot does have scratches and minor dings on hood ( one spot ) and rear quarter ( was told it can be worked out fairly easy but I'm lazy...and it's friggin' cold ! ) ......just did front brake pads and rotors, and new timing set in Oct. ( yes i replaced the cam sprocket bolts too ) has the typical drivers seat problem with the thing poking out, interior is pretty clean, no dash crack...motor is getting an oil change today and will be doing the tranny fluid next weekend..maybe tomorrow...
sacrificing my car so she can have one and when we get down south in April I'll just pic up another J or a few...I'll have a yard and garage or carport then...and storage room !!!.......looking for a 3 car seat holding vehicle ( tried to tell her that my cavy can hold all 3 but it is cramped )....has to be auto, has to fit 3 car seats, has to be reliable, not rotted garbage.....NO Lumina Van s !!!!!!!.........We are waiting for a few dealers to step up like they said they would but I'm not holding my breath......The title should be in by the end of the month according to DMV..they put a rush on it ( and yes, they do that here in CT for hardship issues )...the title will be clear, not salvage )..........once it's in and the dealers figure stuff out it will be posted....just trying to see what's out there right now.......tried craigslist in my area and i keep getting folks wanting to do carpentry work for it......Hopefully I find A mid 90's Sunfire GT when i get south but I'll keep the fingers crossed

.....I'm going to look at a Honda Odessy again today.....Only problem is they are not going to give me much for my car...because it's standard and over 100k miles......got an offer for it but would like to see better....Otherwise we are still looking....

I hear ya... After driving an hour to and an hour back in this crappy weather the past few weeks I have a new found respect for mine......We are getting rid of mine ..either trade in or sell... then when we get back south I am getting another.....I am hoping to find a Sunfire GT, 5 speed...If not I will make it a 5 speed...I'll settle for a Cavy though
