if you find anything in your travels post it up. I'm not opposed to going to cali. Must be rust free.

under 10k

Cali is the only way to go. You won't find many over here. Everyone seems to want one but few find them. :goodjob:

There was a smooooooooth one on Craigslist not too long ago, yellow, some lexan stuff here and there. Badass 510. Think it was under 10k too. Driving to CAli is a bad idea if you want to get a car. Seeing how you want to spend less than 10k, if you went to Cali you would burn about $1500 of that in travel, gas, lodging, snacks, Asian Hookers (Capitalized because let's face it, Asian hookers are the closest thing to God's right hand as you will ever get on this crappy world) and any of the other things such as, but not limited too...Magazines to fight boredon, DS games, Beer and wings when you celebrate getting the car you drove out there to get, PSP movies, speeding tickets because you decided to drive a bit too fast in your tow vehicle or pulled the car off the trailer to get a little woot woot time in and got popped......The list goes on and on.

OR, you can fly out there on the word that the car will make it back. Then you will need to pay for a flight out there, hotel if you don't take off right after you get there and let's not even go into what costs you would have if you tried to drive a car that is supposed to be 100% and is not..

Or, you could get the car sent from Cali to here at a cost of probably $700-$1000, sight unseen. Pictures are great.....but they don't show everything. My mother bought a LaForza from Cali once. Looked like gangbusters on the internet and in the photos. Once it got here.....not so gangbusters. Was not a good day.

So I would def look around here, going to Cali or buying from Cali is not the smartest idea.

Yeah my friend Miles has one for sale, SR20DE swap, pretty clean, unsure if there is rust or not, he's asking like $3500 or something.

Most of those old cars have SOME rust, they didn't undercoat or pretreat back then.

I would go see the car first and then have it shipped back. I wouldn't recommend to anyone to fly and drive back as that is what I did. I barely made it back.

What wagon is for sale at GZ?

We do want to sell the yellow car but I need to get the KA swap done first, as soon as I finish someone elses 510, I will try and get that started, jus got a few other motor swaps to do at the same time, but the price as a driver KA24de powered will be very reasonable.
