I have two sets of rims for the car. 1) 17 Inch BSA rims (some curb rash) 2) 15 Inch PCW rims that came with the car when I bought it. Both sets are 5-spoke rims. The BSAs happen to be a perfect colour match of the car with a machined lip. Oh and the BSAs have a brand new set of FALKEN Tires (if i remember correctly) on them. I haven't even put 100KMs on those when they were on the car. The car is currently sitting on a set of steelies. Since I bought the car in 2004, I have only used OEM oil filters and Mobile 1 full synthetic oil. The TSX projectors are in perfect condition with NO scratches. I can assure you this because they are still in the TSX housings. I never got around to doing the HID retrofit, so I'm throwing them in incase you want to.

Reason why I'm selling the car is because I hit a small island back in July. I was in a left turn lane which I thought went to the set of lights I was planning to make a left at, but there was a small entrance with a small island to the plaza before the lights. I was talking to my buddy and looked straight and saw the island at the last second, I had just enough time to swerve right to avoid a complete write-off just clipping the left side of the car. There was suppose to be an island warning sign there, but there wasn't because I believe someone else had already smoked the island and took the sign out which the city never replaced, since the metal bracket was still in the island. Anyway, there's no body damage that I know of, it mainly needs a bit of suspension work. Needs a new oil pan, and possibly a new radiator, that's it.

The second reason I've been meaning to sell the car is because I just want a winter beater. Something to get me from A to B, because I also have a motorcyle which I've been riding all summer. Except for the odd occasion when I did drive the car. I just need something cheap.

The car is currently located at a friend's shop in Mississauga. As my posting says, $2000 gets you everything i mentioned above. I will also include some pictures of the car and items ASAP.

Thanks
