There's a 94 RS at a local shop in Port Colborne. My mechanic took a look at it and said it's very clean and in good shape. I think they want $4500 for it.

there are at least 3 I know of for sale in Welland by dealerships.. I don't think i've seen any private sales. But I checked them out myself and they were in good shape.

There was a red gs in cambridge, on Franklin and HWY 8 (i think), looked good from the road. At a smallllll dealer. I think it was 3500, dont know the year, but I think it had the 5 star gs rims.

I'll sell you mine... $4500 obo... 95' GS, V6, 5spd, 210k, A/C, factory AM/FM/CD, some new parts (about $1000 worth)... burns a little oil & needs rear calipers fixed... Its destined for a KL-ze swap, by me or someone else... Other than burning oil, the car works great & looks great (original paint), 1 tiny spot of rust on the window-frame... Ice cold air...

Well I guess you're lookin for the preverbial "needle in a hay-stack"... Cause its gettin harder and harder to find these cars in VG-mint shape with no engine probs at all... Either you find one that looks sweet but doesnt run 100%, or else it runs like a top but is rusting out...

Kthxbye...

here ya go, enjoy... Got $10,000...? http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=37897

I found many cars in mint shape with no problems for cheap before, and mx-3's usually don't rust out!, they do burn oil tough.. and thats something I'm trying to avoid... I hate a car that puffs blue smoke when you drive it places

Well mine burns oil but i never see blue smoke. It doesn't burn THAT MUCH in order to see a difference on the exhaust.

You'd be surprised how little oil it takes to turn your exaust blue.. what is keeping it from showing out your tail pipe is your catalytic converter.. thats their job.. to burn off excess emissions. If you remove your cat.. I think you would find your engine is smoking a LOT more than you think it is. In addition.. if you are burning oil.. its only a matter of time before your cat will plug up and cause additional issues for you.
