I'm looking for a deal like most :)
Ideally I'd LOVE to have an ABS car......I don't care what year as long as it's an NA (90-97).
I'd prefer a 94-97 1.8L but would get a 1.6 for the right price. :)
I want it to be running, but cosmetic appearance is not important. However, for the right price I'd take a car with some mechanical issues......gearbox or diff broken is ok.......but a running motor.
F125 too fast for ya, David? :wink:
I've got a 90 silver, 92 Sunburst, 93 LE w/ABS, and 95 Laguna Blue.
..............^$1500^....^sold^......^$2500^...... ...^decided to keep^
The 93LE should have ABS unless you removed it.Quote:

It's a laguna blue, cloth interior, ABS. Pretty darn unusual combination, one I'd like to have found when I was shopping.
IIRC, all '93LE, '95M, and '96M cars have ABS. Other than that it's pretty hit or miss - mostly miss. I think that if you want ABS, you'll either have to pay for it or get VERY lucky.
What's the project?
OMG! ABS Laguna!
I think that I just saw several Miata guys headed to Austin with Money. ;)
Still have the 90 for sale? pics? problems?.......Quote:

Right rear quarter is smashed and some minor damage on the right front. All the damage is bodywork. Suspension is good. I have another 90 silver parts car and will throw in the rear clip. When this happened(4 years ago) it was running great. Now, it won't start. No fuel is getting thru the injectors, but I hear them clicking. Fuel pump is fine, but the gas looked awful the last time we tried to start it(2 years ago). I supect that drining the fuel and cleaning the injectors will get it running. I just don't have time........Quote:

I was hoping to find something that moved under its own power to get it home and be able to move her around at first.
Do you have any pics fo the '90? How bad is the damage on the front? Does it have a LSD? I need a parts car for my '91 but everything I need is on the front. Plus, I could use the motor. Lets make a deal!
Merv,
How about some details on the LE.
No chance of unloading the 95 Laguna eh? :)
Do you have details on the 93 LE? :)

I'll be buying a 92 in a month or two to hold me over from the family for a song :)
I'm just looking for something more long term.
Ideally 1.8L, but I suppose a 1.6 may work.....

The interior and dash are mostly removed, but everything is there. The seats need new leather. Still runs. I fire it up once in a while and move it around.Quote:
