I know your excited and want that car, but you really should be patient. I was in the market for a fox for over a year and i finally found one. All I can say is don't impulse buy. Think of it like this, by the time you buy that car for 3000, put on some standard bolt ons, and change the wheels you are goin to be well over 4000. Save that 4000 and buy a nice rust free carthat all readyhas bolt ons.

Sorry bro, I have to agree with the rest of the group. The paint is mismatched, the interior is worn, this is not a mint car. Save your money and buy something that will not need so much work. There are deals to be had, be patient. We are being honest with you and would notmislead you.

that car has been under water, most definately.

look at the rear carpet where it meets the bottom of the seat.
look at the carpet under the drivers feet. its curled. meaning water.

since it is rusting in the engine bay i would also ask to see pics of the floor, the hatch, the bottom of the quarter panels next to the door for any more rust. it is from new york so i am sure it has seen its share of snow and salt. and also there is like 5 different color blues on the car like its trying to cover up something. get a carfax if serious about it. i have been f***** on a car that i bought off of ebay and i would hate to see it happen to a 17 year old on his bday
