$1500.00 car all day long. Missing parts, requires paint, interior apart but all pieces there, right. If it was whole with a faded red original paint maybe 8K.

Surely they jest. One too many digits in that price. I passed up on an automatic in better condition at $600 recently.

Some day I'm gonna get an SA, but not at the expense of my beloved FB.

Something about those SAs, they are beautiful machines!

Shipped?? 1/2 the fun of buying mine was the road trip from San Diego to Fairbanks, Alaska. (...and then back down to Sedona, AZ 15 yrs later...)

These are touring cars folks! Don't be afraid to take 'em out of the neighborhood.

I bought mine in Detroit and drove it home to Charlotte! A little harrowing given I didn't have much time to look at before hitting the road.

Roadtrips can be a bit of an Act of Faith.
On the way up to Alaska, my starter crapped out. Had to very creative about where I parked the car each time I needed to stop!
But, hey, if you want stone-reliability, by a new Kia...
