Default 95 TI 5grand

Its clean white with gray (none leather) interior, 100xxx miles, auto, power everything.

No sun roof, , but i can always get one put in. It looks nice, however i can spend 7 grand for a black 96 ti with black interior, manual, 50xxx miles.

IDK maybe i can get both overtime, but what should i go for first?

here is a pic of the 95



This is the 96

I would get the 96 and throw those hub caps far away from the car.

hahahahahahahahaha, if thats how it is, thats how it is. Personally, i enjoy manual mutch more, it just makes you feel like you have more control, and you dont fall asleep at the wheel, (hence, drinking coffe)
haha
just kidding

but you also have to look at both sides, which car is younger and has less milage.. whats learning stick for a car that will last longer?

BOth...wow. the white one was 6 grand, then he droped it to 5500, i asked his 4500 for it he said 5, i got to go checkit out in person.

THe backone is like mint with a huge soundsystem that takesup the trunk. I can always try and sober him up for less but he is a hard sell.


Also, i am not a fan of the rear bumper on the ti, any good bodykits for that: with dual exhaust? (images would be nice, or links)

yeah but the older the more experienced lol


anyways, sounds like the black one would be a good choice, half the miles as the white for only $1500 more. And please toss the hubbies if you get it. Also for the rear, you could look for a mtechnic rear or there is one that goes lower with grills all on the back. I know a couple of members have it, forgot the brand though. But its the only other rear besides the active/base stock rear and the sport (mtechnic) rear. Good luck!

WEll everyone, I took the white one for a drive. It seems that the car did get damaged around 3 years ago, factory repaired and is in great condition!!

I took it for a drive as I stated above on some country roads, feels great, runs great, excells great! Engine is CLEAN OMG CLEAN, BODY almsot perfect, interior is nice but i dont like the gray...minor detail for me tho. 104,XXXmiles, power everything, auto. He had it for sale for 6 a months ago, then posted it for 5500 but i got it down to 5, I am really thinking of buying this car.


I will post some images when I get themup on my server.
