It was at an auction, 1996 1.3 hatch with 60K miles....I backed off though since I found water in the oil.

The search continues...

what was it going for? i spent 800 bucks on the 91 i bought and it was in pretty rough shape. i'll be in it probably close to 2k when im all done, but for 2k i'll have a car that has tons of new parts and should run good for a long long time.

I didn't stay long enough to see, I got enough projects, and FWD cars are not my mechanical forte.

That craigslist one I previously linked to is back:

I'm a little leary about the miles though, been looking for under 100K.

take its a deal, right now cars like that are going for 3 or 4 grand on ebay, because of the price of gas they are really selling. good luck on finding one under 100 k. take a sec znd look on ebay and what they are going for.
