Looked up the Carfax on it. It was rear ended, and then pushed into another car. No airbag deployment, but enough to disable the car. Maybe a radiator puncture? Looks like it still has the hole in the bumper. Probably a trailer hitch impact. I'd guess they stuck a radiator in it and threw it up for sale.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

I'd buy it too. I might try to knock them down slightly, but I'd buy it.

Unfortunately my friend in MI can't get down there until Thursday.

I was so close to buying a red 2009. But Vira told me to hold out for something else. Thus began the Audi saga....

Only mitsus id want at this point aside from a 3s, would be an engine swapped starion or a first gen dsm. Nothing else really jives with me.

It'd be fun to have my original '93 Eclipse GSX back again, but I know for a fact that after I sold it, the new owners abused it pretty badly. I'm almost certain that it has been recycled by now. Kind of always wanted a '99 Eclipse GSX.

I did have a Starion way back in the day, but the strongest memory of it was when it dropped a valve into a cylinder and destroyed the motor. I wasn't making much money at the time, and ended up trading it in as-is for my first Eclipse - a 1990 GS DOHC. Had some problems with the brakes, too.

the FTO would have been such a cool car if it would have been rwd. Some real competition for the 240sx.
