    Full Name:
    City, State, Zip: Columbus Ohio
    Contact: (your choice of listing e-mail and phone. you must provide phone number via at least PM if potential buyer wants to verify.) 614-962-1027
    Selling or Wanted Price: (any applicable merchant fees must be included in this and not in addition) $1100

    Description: Be very descriptive and accurate of the items to be sold or those wanted.

    For those selling, a photo showing the items you have for sale/trade needs to have a piece of paper with your username and date included in the photo.

    [I]The above details are not optional. This is to protect buyers... just put yourself in their shoes.
    [/I

    This car has 117k original miles, it's ice blue, blue interior, bucket seats, 5spd, p/s p/b rear defrost, tires have 60% tread left. There is very little rust, and if you know these cars that's a major issue, but not on this car.-The car gets an amazing 45MPG freeway and over 35 city. I drive it daily with no issues. However, it leaks oil and it's starting to smoke.-My price is negotiable but to a point I know this car is very reliable.

    I have more pictures in my phone text me 614-962-1027

    Im dubious of those mpg claims.. do you have more detail on how you're getting that number?

    Looks like a good car, though!

    I can't believe nobody wants a super reliable car or even something to convert to a sleeper

    Re: 1988 Aries 5spd coupe

    Distance is a factor for me. I certainly like the car. But, i also already had a Tbi aries that i converted to 5 spd and then turbo, so in my case i would be leaving it TBI (and apparently getting 10 more mpg than my last tbi/5spd aries).

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    Re: 1988 Aries 5spd coupe

    Are you using the old trick of drafting a semi just 5 feet back from it OR using the other often used grapple hook/cable combo that you hook up to the semi and let it take you for free? I've done it but there are inherent dangers to it. Ask me how I know.

    Must.... resist... calling.

    I use to get customers at the dealership tell me they would get 45 mpg all time.

    Damnit I'll call later.
