Don't let the kms on the car scare you away, it has been babied by each of the previous owners! The car's paint is ALL ORIGINAL, no accidents, no re-painted panels, no bondo, NO SURPRISES. I looked for a clean EL for a while, and was pretty surprised to find this one... the one with the highest kms, but in the best condition. There is rust in the rear 1/4 panels, but no where else really... nothing coming up from the a-pillars, nothing on the trunk, etc. The only issues would be a dent on the rear passenger door and a dent on the front passenger side fender.

Interior is in amazing condition as well! The carpet is clean with no salt stains, rips, tears, etc. The panels are all original, no scratches, never been painted, replaced, etc. Everything is solid and tight, no rattling at all. The only problem area would be the front seats which are both ripped.

In the last 3 months, I've put on about 15,000kms and did ALOT of servicing. I Replaced the following parts:

OEM Timing Belt, OEM Water Pump, OEM Tensioner, NGK Spark Plugs, NGK Spark Plug Wires, Distributor Cap, Distributor Rotor, A/C Belt, P/S Belt, OEM Valve Cover Gasket, OEM Cam Seal, OEM Driver's Door Power Lock Actuator, Rebuilt OEM Front Calipers, KVR Slotted Front Rotors, KVR Carbon Fiber Brake Pads, Lower Radiator Hose, OEM Fuel Filter, Machined Rear Drums, and some more I probably missed.

I also did a valve adjustment, transmission fluid change using GM Synchromesh, and flushed the Clutch Fluid & Coolant. I change the oil every 5,000kms, the last one being done on June 30, 2008.

I've spent a good chunk of change making this a dependable, quick, and fun daily driver... but I think I need something automatic with all the driving that I do for work.

The only known issues with the car: Ripped Driver's Seat, 1/4 Panel Rusting, and a 3rd gear grind when shifting quickly at high RPMs (no grinding with regular driving).

I'm located in Markham and always running around if you wanted me to meet you somewhere to show the car. Please do not ask me to sell anything from the car, I will post it all up once the car is sold. PM or e-mail me at vince.h(at)rogers.com if you have any questions, thanks!
