Talking I'm back with a TII that I got for a steal

Hey guys, I've been out of the rotary world for 6 years. I traded my 88 NA for a sportbike and I thought I'd never look back again. I have two bikes now and one of them I track a few times a year. With kids in the family, I have to slow down a bit I initially wanted to trade my bike for a 944 or an M3 but the FC always calls my name. I saw this TII on craigslist for $2550 and I thought it was a good deal. I called this morning and told the owner that I'll pay $2100 for it. She agreed so I went and check it out. But I was disappointed because it has a Salvaged title due to a minor hit on the rear. So I bargained for more and finally took the car home for $1700. It has 86K original miles on it with a strong motor, clean engine and okay interior. Paint is fading badly but it doesn't bother me right now. I'm happy to be driving an FC again and nice to be back in this forum!

Pics of the back? did they get the hit taken care of? I hate when insurance companies just trigger happy the salvage tittle around. =[

Anyway, welcome back, love the color and a TII at that!

the E46 will probably stay stock but my Z3 may get a supercharger one of these days. i'm selling my kawi so I could fund the SC project but it looks like all the money will go to the RX-7 instead. I need to prep it for track days.
