Well, second FD, but first in 28 years! What have I gotten myself in to?

Congrats, a few of us have been watching that closely. I think you got it for a good price personally.

Thanks everyone. I was actually surprised that the price was as low as it turned out to be. Recent BAT sales for similar cars seemed higher.

Holy **** that's clean! I agree, I think you got a pretty good deal considering the current market for an FD that clean, that color, and low mileage, especially on BaT.

Very likely a steal at that price.
Let us know the compression and overall condition when you check everything?

I think the subframe scared some people off but that's really an easy fix if you just support the engine from the top.

Lots of upside. Can't miss purchase. Congratulations.

White with tan seems unique. But works well.

Good buy. Congrats! That's easily a $65-70k car.

Congratulations on the new seven. The white/tan combination is neat.

The left driver’s seat. With one hand on the wheel and the other on the shifter. Im old and had a lot of cars. This is one of the few that’s fun to look at and more fun to drive. Go have fun.
