Oh I loved the gas mileage on my 98 200sx Base, 30/43 MPG FTW!

For you friend it will be a perfect gas saver!

For you, if you don't mind paying more for the gas, you will have a more fun to drive DD

Thanks again everyone. All the pics of the MR2 I have. http://public.fotki.com/Aggression/mr2/
Most of them came from the previous owner when he was selling the car. It had 17" Nexus wheels but now wears Konig Rewinds with ze-912's. (AWESOME tire for the price by the way.)
I've done a little to her such as installed new speakers and a Pioneer DEH-P9800BT. (Which is going in the SE-R) Installed a short shifter. (GOOD investment.) I have parts lying around for the next few phases of the "project."

It's an INCREDIBLY fun car to drive and gets usually around 24-26 in the city and 33ish on the HWY. (Cruising at 80MPH no less)

The SE-R is just so much more comfortable AND I can carry more groceries.

(I have a dog and 2 cats and they demand I keep up with my duties.) I know I'm going to love the SE-R. The biggest plus is I don't have to put Premium in it!

Anyway, I'm a long time Nissan/Toyota fan. I had a Frontier that I could....not.....kill and owned a 98 200SX SE that I just recently sold to a friend in need. I lucked out and found this 97 SE-R for $2200 in REALLY nice shape with 94K miles. It's bright red and needs some new paint here n there but the interior is SPOTLESS and the stereo is awesome. (But I'm ripping the head unit out and putting the one from my MR2 in.)

The only thing that I've found wrong with the car is the clutch was slipping. I noticed that the disengage point of the pedal was at the VERY top of travel. When I got home, I popped the hood and sure enough, the adjuster is all the way in. I bet I can fix that.

Anyway, for $2200, I think it was a pretty good deal. The car was well cared for mechanically as I have receipts for oil changes, tires, and damn near everything else. I'll get pics up as soon as it quits raining outside. I'll be doing little mods here and there. (I just signed up for the beam bending coming to Ga as I'm a sucker for handling. Straight lines are for fast cars, curves are for fast drivers.)

I just wanted to stop and say "hello."

That's really the worst spot of the paint. The hood could use a re-spray and there's one VERY small hit on the passenger side that I'm sure you'll notice.

Still, not bad for $2200.

Front looks pretty good. (imo)

There's the dent/blemish. OH NOEZ!

Anyway, the car came with factory alarm and the guy put all new speakers in, amp, 15" sub, Pioneer h/u and you can eat off the interior. (I'm serious, it's BEAUTIFUL on the inside.)

That's the DD. THIS is the "Go Kart."
