So, I finally took possession of my 300e euro. I have some mixed emotions about it ..
The good:
Its a 5 SPEED.
I drove it 200 miles with no problems
engine and drivetrain seem to be in good order.
came with 500e rims, and an extra set of regulars.
The bad:
There is a clunk every time I shift. Im pretty sure its the bushings that hold the diff in place...
2 huge rips in the front seats..
Cracked dash
non working odometer.
It felt a little loose on the freeway, I blame tie rods, and the p.o. only changed the right ball joint.
Many minor (yet expensive) problems that include non working ac, noisy fan blower, noisy wiper, and squeaky suspension.
The ugly:
Probably the worst paint job ive ever seen. It looks great from 15 feet away
I had to pull over every 40 mins to stretch my back from what is THE most uncomfortable seats I have ever sat in....EVER
Some bubbling paint on the top of the door sill, and fender.
a little bit of rust in engine bay, and in various nooks of the car..
But it is a 5 speed!
