From the seller
Transaxle layout, so it handles far better than the price suggests. Everyone talks these down and then drives one. Timing belt and water pump done at 112k with receipts. Interior is good apart from the dashboard, which has the crack every single one of these has - photographed. Clutch is fine. The gearbox is notchy cold and then perfect. An honest car at an honest price.
An independent read
Honestly, I'd steer a family away from this one as a first car for a teenager: it's a 46-year-old sports coupe with no airbags, no ABS, and parts and specialist labor that cost real money whenever something goes. The description is written by someone who knows the car, which I like, but it's all words with nothing to back it up in the photos, which are literally twelve copies of the same outline side view, no interior, no engine bay, no odometer, no underside. The tags claim service records and garage-kept and the text mentions receipts for the belt and pump at 112k, so those should be easy to actually produce. The thing to check on these is rust, especially floors, sills and the battery tray area, and the timing belt interval matters a lot on this engine, so the belt history being documented is genuinely the right thing to have done. For an enthusiast with a second car and a toolbox, this could be a good weekend project; as daily transport for a new driver it's the wrong tool.
