Hey. So I found a 93 SS auto in the same silver as my car. Really like it. Only downside really is high mileage, which is almost the same as my car. Has around 300k km and my car has 322,000km. Minimal rust, the rear quarters looked awesome, i can see rust spray, so it was definitely rust proofed. Very clean. In terms of driving, should I find the car to be noticeably faster then my N/A legacy wagon? Also are these cars usually pretty quiet(I wouldn't know since my car has bad door alignment and a bad windshield job)? I will look out for unusual fluid colour and smell. Also check for torque bind, and make sure the AWD works, etc etc. Any input would be great, really excited always wanted a SS!

Ya um. Car was horrible total crap good for parting or scrap metal IMO. Pictures mean nothing until you see it in person. My car is showroom material compared to that eeek.

Check out that betsy. Pretty damn clean for a salt belt car, and the mileage! 97 000 km!

i saw that really like the car but the guy is not flexible on the price at all . At that price range i prefer looking at like a 97+ legacy gt . Still i guess it wouldnt hurt to go look at that car.

Eww, the engine is all rusty. The inside of the car looks dirty. My mom bought a car from bellvue, wa which was originally from canada and I've never in my life seen a car with so much rust. The entire engine is rusted badly. The brake drums are about to disintegrate and you can flake the rust off in huge (2 inch) flakes by hand off the drums! The body has rust eating through the panels all over. It's terrible.

True, I hate the salt . But around here a 93 like that is considered pretty nice. Thats why my SS gets parked in the winter :P
