So this is my new 93' GS SE...

So here is the new MX-3. I've had it a week now. I want to thank Ayaz, the member I bought it from. He was a total gentleman about the whole thing and seemed genuinely concerned that I have a good purchasing experience. I also want to thank him for taking excellent care of the car. It's actually pretty amazing.
The car has ~279,000km on the clock, is bone stock and feels like it's maybe 5 years old. It's not perfect. The windshield has a bad crack, there are a few rock chips as you'd expect and the left rear quarter panel was keyed right to the metal. He took the time to seal te scratches and touch them up so the panel wouldn't rust. The interior is the best I've ever seen. Not just in an MX-3, but any significantly used car I've ever seen. My friends' reaction when I showed them was "How did he get 280k on it? He never sat in the seats!!"
So, it needs brakes and a clutch this year for sure. I'll do the windshield because the inspector will probably make me. Next spring I think I'll get the body work done. A few small bubbles are beginning to appear, so I figure i've got a year before they're a problem. A ZE is in the plans for the future I think. I believe I will drive this car for another 15 years.
I washed it, but the roads are wet due to massive melting of redonculous amounts of snow...
the interior after a serious fight witha bottle of armour all...
the front seats are in really good shape...
the back seats have basically never been sat in according to the seller...
even the privacy cover is the nicest one i've ever seen...
I have to say...I love the straight dash much more the the bubble dash of my 2 previous MX-3's
So there she is. I'm gona own it forever, so you're never getting rid of me now.
