This is where we say "ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF US."

You still up for a trade?

Yeah, but it's tough to find the time to drive a loud Toyota out to Pittsburgh.

Think I've decided to pass on the trade because I can't register it here in PA without a cat. The biggest reason the average joe won't buy my MX6 is because it hasn't gone through PA inspection yet.

I was considering lowering the price to $2015 if someone is serious about buying the car.

That's ok with me. I just got news that my storage options got more limited, and instead of trading for another car, I really need to be trading for cash. Thanks for the interest, wish I had a place for your MX6.

Got an interested party in my car, let's cross our fingers!

Here's to hoping..... I really want to see this car stock around.

Here in MD it can be registered as historic. No emission concerns.

Let me know ASAP. I'm in negotiations with a local for a trade for another SVT Focus.

Please invite whomever gets it to the forums.

Guessing your car didn't sale?

Guy flaked.

Do the trade.

Did it ever sell?

Nope and I'm pretty frustrated about it. Had another ass-bag come look at it today. Literally walked around the car and pointed out every little imperfection and looked at me like it was all my fault. The type of guy who makes it his mission to make you look stupid. He passed on it. He was expecting a show room condition car. To beat all he almost torque steered it into the ditch on the test drive.

I'm so sick of this car I'm ready to burn it.

Man I'm sorry to hear that. It's really a cool car, I can't believe no one wants it.

Are the pictures in the ebay ad the only ones you have?

What is the current price?

$2100.

Snap a few pics of the worst areas of the car. Does it burn or leak anything? Does it run, drive, stop, turn, etc as it should? Is the windshield and other glass in good shape? Heat, A/C, electric stuff work? Tires?

I'm pretty far from you and after checking on plane tickets for the wife and I to fly out plus hotel and gas to drive it back the numbers don't really work out. However I'm going to throw up an offer on uship and see what happens. I would like a new DD and this thing would be cool.

Doesn't burn any fluids. Had an oil leak from the dizzy O-ring but I fixed it. It runs, drives, and stops as it should. Cranks right up even after sitting for a bit. Tires are uber cheap all seasons that are next to brand new. Windshield and glass in great shape. Power windows are sloooow but still work. Some of the trim could use a little epoxy to reattach but nothing is missing. I'm surprised how straight the body is. Hardly a door ding. One slight area of dings on the passenger 1/4 panel. It's hard to see in pictures. The rear spoiler hardware has started to rust a bit and ooze a bit. Drivers door is a slammer. The hinges have sagged a bit and needs shimmed. I've learned how to close it and it's fine. It may need a front right strut top sooner or later because there is a bit of play in it. A/C works and has been converted to r134a. Has no radio, but I have the wiring harness for aftermarket adaptor. I have new rear sway bar bushings that need installed (15 minute job). I Have oil light brass shifter bushings that need installed. One of them requires removing a pressed pin and reusing a bolt. That is always the source of sloppy shifters for these cars. The car tracks straight and rides good for an 88.

Again, this isn't a show car. It has small quirks and things that need attention eventually, but nothing keeping it from driving to work everyday. The PO used it as a DD.

Showing the car on my lunch break today. Fangers crossed.

Another "I'll let you know in 3-4 days." Which in my experience means, "I don't have the money."

Someone hit the buy it now option on eBay last night around 10pm. No initial contact from the seller, and no contact from the buyer since. Hoping this isn't a "I accidentally hit buy it now."
