You know for the amount of time that this car has been listed, and the fact that nobody has bought it yet, really makes me wonder why he hasn\'t given it to us yet...lol   It would be cheaper for him that way...

It was the last time I saw it.  It needs a flywheel, and starter, and the only real dent I saw was in the hood if I remember corectly.  the interior is rough in places though.  the car is white exterior with beige interior, and is definately a MK1.  The battery was also dead so bring what you need if you want to hear it talk, and so on. also it has a missing passenger mirror lens, but I believe it has all the power goodies including windows, mirrors, cruise, digital guages, voice, and a manual sunroof.  the rain detector is not on this car though :(  also there were I believe two flat tires, and now exhaust, so I wouldn\'t plan on driving it back.  The glass was all god when I saw it, and the doors lined up good and so on.  there might have been minimal rust, but I don\'t remember anything extensive...8)

it would be an awesome candidate for an engine swap. Especially since the only thing wrong with it are the hood hinges. Be careful opening the hood, it might not stop. Looks like it was opened too far, and the little tabs got torn.

Other than that, I think it had a flat tire, not flat, just low. I even put $5 worth of new gas in it when I went to check it out.

Thorold is far man ... hope you\'ve got a friend with a tow truck

thanks pal... i just needed a consumer opinion rather than going there and finding bondo all over the place... do you remember how much km\'s it has? the guy doesn\'t remember and he seems too busy to care to look for me... lol.

Could you give me directions to his olco for me pal? Thanks...

:o

you have a flatbed!?!?! Wait, you work for an insurance company? Hehehe ... oh tell me you work in a position that gets bad drivers (from an insurance standpoint ;) ) reinstated

No, it doesn\'t run, like at all. We pushed it up to 40 km/h a few times with a booster pack hooked up, and still nothing. It would putter, but never do anything other than run on compression. But even with flat tires, it still drove straight, brakes worked, clutch grabbed hard, shifter felt good too.

Ok, come through the Welland tunnel, make a right at the first set of lights once you\'re through the tunnel, and there\'s the Olco.

Mileage was low, I can\'t remember how low, but pretty low. Digital dash, so only with the booster on could I see it, but I didn\'t bother remembering.

The car is original from what I could see, never been painted. Had weird factory looking wheels too, might have been off an old 300zx.

Like I said, we would have totally bought it if we had a way to get it back, and somewhere to put it. We\'ve had a lot of good luck with $300 Nissans
