OK, I'll be the first to point out that it's missing the jump start cover. 
It does look like a pretty nice, well kept, original example.
It still has not met the reserve at $14,028...
Interesting that CarFax only has one owner on record, but seller says he's third owner...

Looks pretty good from the pics and looks to be a good value if mechanically in order. Nice dash lines too.
Says 60k service done but how long ago was that? You'll want to see how long it has been sitting with the same coolant and other fluids, considering only 16k miles since 1994. The brake master going could indicate sitting for some time. In any case, I'd definitely be checking it out if I didn't already have a 5-spd.

JBT3,
I tried to reply to your private message, but I received this:
My comment was based on the history report that's included in the eBay ad.
(although I misspoke; it's actually not CarFax; it's an AutoCheck report).
And unfortunately the report is incomplete during the early life of the car.
But it does appear to be (at least) a three owner car (auto auctions in 92 & 94).
Even though it doesn't appear that it was actually "titled" those three times...
Up to $15,100 but reserve is still on. The reserve may be close to the BIN price.
I personally think it's a really solid looking car, but then I'm just viewing pictures.
You have three days left. Hop in your car, drive down there, and check it out!

Timing belt was way back in 1998. It must sit a lot. I've emailed with seller. Can't get there before auction ends and I'd want a PPI anyway. Only decent guy around (Precision Motion) is already his mechanic. Good and bad I guess.
