Selling my car and need it gone by saturday if I actually let it go. Gets a little over 30 MPG on the tank (combined mileage) since I removed the cat.

Mods:
Custom Pearl White Paint job with Blue Pearl
15" Borbet Type BS wheels with Kumho Ecsta Rubber (Treadware %50, not included but will for an addition $300)
Stock 14" 5 Spoke wheels with 20% left
Shaved Hatch of all emblems and wiper

1 of 2 suspensions that I will later decide on to sell with the vehicle
KYB struts with H&R Springs
or
JOM Coilovers

Magnaflow exhaust with new downpipe and testpipe (test pipe causes a CEL)
I will include stock catalytic converter
Short Ram Intake
Sony CD Player
Infinity Kappa speakers on all four corners
B&M Short Shifter
Tinted Eurospec taillights
Tinted front signals
"Joey-Modded" Hella MK4 headlights and smoked "dummies"
35% "Grey" tint on the back 3 windows
Removed spoiler (will include with sale)
"Old-style" VR6 Lip
Badgeless PAINTED front grille

Recent maintenance (last 2-3 months) .:
New timing belt
New timing belt pulleys
New "updated version" of timing belt tensioner
New serp-belt
New Waterpump
Will include fresh oil change but it is changed religiously every 3k
New exhaust gaskets
New plugs
New PS belt
New ball joints up front
New tie-rod ends
New PCV Valve and pluming
I will include new exhaust manifold gaskets and an extra set of tie-rod ends

I will be very open with potential buyers
The cons:
Drivers seat needs to be re-upholstered
Small dents in the hood by the release (Common MK3 problem)
Hatch has a small area of rust (can barely see it)
Hatch release is kind of finnicky sometimes (you have to hit the button a few times to get it to release)
Drivers side rear 1/4 has a small spot of rust (barely noticable)
Car is so low that the exhaust vibrates on the rear axle (If I picked the car up a bit it would no longer do this)
Keyless entry battery is dead
Passengerside exterior doorlock tumbler doesn't work (I'm planning on fixing this)
Passenger side front seat wobbles a bit but can be fixed with a $5 part from ECS
Car needs to be re-aligned since it was re-lowered but it tracks well and tire-wear is fairly normal

Car currently has 158k and runs and drives perfectly. I will be doing a compression check on the engine tonight to verify that the engine is still great (I already know it is by driving it) and will do a final detail on it as well and take updated pictures

Asking 3k without Borbets OBO. Borbets cost an extra $300. Price is somewhat negotiable.

Car also needs new E-Brake cables. I will include new ones at no charge and may even throw them on for free if I'm in a good mood.

Pretty sure I saw you and this car rolling down I think 218. Low but a good looking car. I just remember seeing the sticker on the back. I would have been in a Silver Nissan Titan towing a 99 white mitsubishi spyder with no wheels.
