This is just appeared down the street from me. I went and looked.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
590,000 is the total price for the car.
I know that is a lot of kilometers on the clock for Japan, but to my American eyes that is only 76,000 miles. I could see it going for at least that many more.
The timing belt was changed about 13,000km ago. (edit: I’m too busy attempting to guess-timate km to miles. That is about 18,000km ago.)
The only downside I can see is the leather seats (in the summer). But it looks like one of the guys on the lot is using it to run errands.
Now I just need the money, and figure out paperwork. Hopefully it stays around for a couple weeks so I can figure that out. (And convince my wife that this is the correct car for our family.)
Oh, and here’s a photo of the engine.
Edit: trying to find out more about these, and why a 4 cylinder would have dual exhaust. Answer: it’s a flat four (which I should have understood from ‘boxer’ but for some reason I was thinking ‘straight four’).
Also after searching some other images it seems these didn’t get sti designations until a couple years later (though I suppose being a domestic model it might be different than I have found online).

I’ve done the paperwork when I bought my GA3. If this is not a private seller, but a dealership, they can do it for you for a modest fee, if they don’t offer it as a service.
Trust me, if they have the option, do it. It was a fucking nightmare, and I’ve had a draft for Jalopnik FP for a while now about it, but it’s so obtuse and complicated that I can’t seem to make it less confusing and ultimately boring for the reader.

Thank God these didn’t suffer from the ringland brouhaha.

So that’s $5,200 US dollars? Wow, a nice legacy GT state side would be >$10,000 and totally beat to death.

I think by Japanese standards this is beat to death.
