Car has a 5 speed manual, limited slip diff, sport cardinal red leather interior, all the good 'is' stuff. The mileage is currently at 180,800 (however, is my daily driver). Runs great, never a question about reliability. I've gone through most of the engine and a lot of the suspension as you can see from the list of items replaced below. Has a nice stereo: MB Quart 6.5" components and a Pioneer deck with iPod/Phone connector. Clean title in hand. I also have the factory wheels with good snow tires.

The bad:
-Pass window doesnt roll down
-a/c doesn't work
-A few dings/scratches (worst is slight wave on driver's rear quarter)
-minor surface rust as shown in pics
-dash is cracked

Items replaced with brand new parts since I bought it 2 years ago (the good):

7/28:
Replaced oil pan gasket (no more plywood on the driveway!)
New header-back 2.25" exhaust

180000 miles:
Fuel filter
Plugs
Fuel pump relay
Shocks
Struts
Chip (have factory still as well)
Air cleaner
Water pump
Windshield (used but not cracked)

178000 miles:
Lowering springs- Eibach pro kit
Drop hats
Wheels- 15x8
Tires- 205 falken azenis (super sticky)
Valve seals
Cap
Rotor
Ambient temp sensor
Bump stops
Shift bushings
Valve adjustment
Intake gaskets
Exhaust gaskets
Valve seals
Head gasket
Timing belt/tensioner
Water pump gasket
Crankshaft seal
Camshaft seal
Pinion bearings
Rear wheel bearings
Subframe bushings
Diff fluid
Valve cover gasket
Fuel check valve
Fuel pressure regulator
Front rotors
Rear pads
Alignment
Driveshaft
Center bearing
Guibo
Accessory belts

I also have rear spacers, but you'll need to roll the fenders for them to fit.

I'm not opposed to a trade, but it would have to be a manual. No thanks on the Impreza, igotacaddy.

And thanks for the complements gents!

I guess I should sell my m3 and all of my other worldly possessions so I can buy an e30 :please:

Steve had 2 ix's before you bought one, Matt: a white one (which is now yours), and a black one that his lady owns (which was once mine)
