Not a big fan of the rear wing but I love the color. I'd go for it. Very nice.

Nice looking car. Before you purchase, take the VIN to your insurance agent. From the VIN they can tell you exactly how much your insurance cost will be. Have the clutch inspected. The previous owner took good care of the car's appearance, but the clutch may have lived a tortured life (given the hills and traffic around the greater Seattle area). Try to find out if the timing belt on the engine has ever been replaced. If it hasn't or if you cannot find proof that it has been replace, the first trip for this vehicle should be to the shop to have that done with 60,000+ on the odometer. A compression check of the motor may be wise if no maintence records (regular oil changes) are available. Inspect the tires, at this mileage they may be ready for replacement. The car is in the Seattle area, lots of moisture, lots of salt. Check underneath, lower edges of the sheet metal panels and the wheel wells for corrosion, especially around the exhaust system. You want this car, but "leaps of faith" at this stage of car shopping can get very expensive, very quickly. I wish you luck with your first purchase.
