I just broke 2nd gear yesterday - 1, 3, 4, 5, and reverse still work great! I am the original owner. Mobile 1 every 6kmiles, coolant change every year, timing belt @120k, eBay uppipe/exhaust, COBB stage 2, AEM CAI, PIAA fogs, never wrecked. I planned to keep it until it died, but I don't have the motivation to replace the gearbox currently... Just email me if you have any interest... dexter@tirerack.com

 

$10k

car is white
also has oe 16" wheels w/new dunlop m3 snows gearbox is working fine as of today, just no 2nd gear - acts like neutral when you put it in second...
engine burns no oil, and runs like new. changed spark plugs 100k miles ago w/oe and does not need them changed as of today.
cobb accessport - it's the old, ugly one - AND IT DOESN'T WORK - i plugged in the wrong AC adapter and screwed something up - car is running on stage two from about a year ago...

Email me at dexter@tirerack.com AND rwburnett@hotmail.com and I'll send you 640x480 pics taken a few minutes ago... Also - ask me if you want the high-res versions (for zooming purposes) 3456x2304 - but they're about 4mb each. The "gunk" around the engine bay is the dealer's "rust proofing" done when I bought the car. I'd almost rather have the rust than the rust-proofing...
