To op: Looks like a pretty nice car..has an upgraded top mount, and thats all i really see. Who did the motor? Did the kid do the work? Did you do a compression test prior to the trade?

Couldn't tell you. I'm supposed to drive the s14 out where he lives next week so we can check the two cars out a little more closely.

I don't play that. Now, if I had posted my s14 for trade and someone offered a car, I could
possibly ask for the trade plus cash... but offering my car for his (mind you my wheels and sound stay with me), I'm not interested in money. Blue book values mean nothing to me. If we're both happy with what we get, then its a good deal regardless of what the value may be.

Bad trade, I would like a rotary, but as a second car.
In the end it's up to you, whatever you like. GL

Relible, yes my s14 has been up until this one string of problems I can't figure out. Sexy? Not so much anymore. I thought it looked good, and now I'm getting bored with it. Good MPG? Haha.. not lately. Easy to repair? Yes. Newer... duh.
Notoriously unreliable? Any car can be unreliable, just take care of it. I like the style of the FC. Hard to repair? Dunno, but its still a motor, and it still uses nuts and bolts, so it can't be THAT bad.

fyi... you have late model s5 (89-91) tails on that s4 (86-88).
anyway, take care of her if you go through with it man.

Like I said, I dunno who did, but I'm gonna listen to the car a little, maybe get to putt down the street. And yes, I would take care of it.

Not that its a giant heap of shit, I just get really frustrated with it, like the car has a jealous personality and every time I look at another car it wants to shit on me out of spite. Really the only problem with it is its damn problem of bogging and misfiring... its just a bitch trying to troubleshoot it. The only problem after getting it running 100% right is that dent, and just general age related noises like the rear deck rattling over bumps...
I told him I'm going to fix that problem though before we trade. I'm not one to sell or trade something that's not in good running order in all honesty, especially if what I'm trading for DOES run. That would make me feel like shit. Even if my s14 is worth more NOT running, I'm not gonna trade it like that. I really don't see how this is a bad trade; my wheels and some of the sound is coming with me. Mind you, I gotta find some wheels to put ON the s14 before I can trade lol.
