Got mine with 130k miles on the odometer just a few weeks back for $750. Automatic N/T Talon. It's a 97.
 
Bought my first gst (wrecked one in the pix) for seven hundred from an old junkyard. Timing belt was broke, someone started to work on it but quit due to cost. Spent 1500 on parts to rebuild and 449 in machine work. Should have spent more on the timing belt as I stripped the teeth off at the crank a few weeks back.

Second gst (the red and white one) I bought it for 520 with a 53.6 mile rebuilt engine with a hole in the block and a spare block. Did an engine swap after the wreck.

Third dsm was a 96 n/t talon with eclipse conversion. paid 550 from a girl who is now my gf. engine and tranny were out and engine was supposedly rebuilt. That one bit me in the ass. sold engine for 7. After the guy installed it I had to remove head and found the head gasket upside down. Smdh. After that he drove it six miles and it locks up. Sold the talon with everything else for 475.
 
$5100. For my 99 GSX with 51,000 original miles.. had $3k in brand new performance parts.. but found out after driving it 60 miles or so that it was pushing coolant ( HG leak). But no big deal i haave done 20+ head gaskets jobs. Had it done in 2 days with all new timing and drive belts and maintenance done.. oh and it was a great time to add a HMI EVO III 16G... So after selling some of the performance parts the car came with for $900 i paid for my EVO 16g, machine work, and all parts. So yeah $5100 for a 99 GSX in perfect condition inside and out 51k miles. With new headgasket, belts , fuel filter, new tires, and new evo 16g... still have a box full of aftermarket performance parts. And all the stock parts the car originally came with.. SCORE!!
 
Its amazing how cheap the dsm's are in the us. I bought my 95 gs for 4500€, Four years ago.
If you want to get a nice gsx you will pay easily 10-13000€, if you ever get one in Germany.

PlCKING UP MY TALON, BONE STOCK WITH A WISECO/EAGLE MOTOR IN IT, WITH 1000 MILES FOR 1500
 
1) Last summer bought a '95 TSi AWD Panda with 16g and full exhaust for $2200 in NJ, can't remember the mileage! Car got stolen..basically :applause:

2) Like 2 months ago $300 for a '90 Laser RS Turbo (Panda) with 86k in GA, sold it for $1250 not running.
(The cleanest 1G ever seen, anyone wanna see a video to prove?) ;)

3) Now I'm with a '98 Spyder GS with 206k for $1,500 from my buddy who's a local mechanic. Gonna get a lightbar and join the Army then come back and do an awd swap and go nuts. :cool:
 
Mine in the netherlands 2750€ for a '97 GS pre-facelift with the 4G63 non-turbo.
But that was an orginal european car, it now has a facelift front and GS-T wing with the USA sidemirrors.
It's veeeery hard to find that stuff over here i even had to make my headlights right for european market...
But now i'm looking for a cheap GS-T spyder good luck in europe...
 
5000 for my gsx with 107k on the body and 20k on the rebuild. it was tastefully modded, beautiful exterior, interior needed a few things but shes all straight now.
 
$3,300 for my Spyder. 98%-ish stock. Only had chrome tail lights, welded on muffler, and big T28 turbo. All else was stock, and judging by condition, probably original.

98 gs-t with 169k miles for $1500, the guy towed it to my house since it had been sitting for 5 yrs in a field. All it had was an eBay exhaust and a knock off bov with of course the riced out painted interior.
 
'95 GSX, 39,000 orig miles....$5,300. 2 owner, but the first looks to be the dealer for two years and 150 miles.

Looks like the car has been sitting in a field, barn or storage since '00-'01(expired plates and dirt/dust in cracks). All stock, but needs some TLC. Runs strong, no obvious issues I can find. Doesn't matter really I guess, everything will get gone through and likely upgraded by the time I'm done.:thumb:

so jealous..
 
Recently picked up a 100% stock 95 TSI AWD with 72k miles for 3000. Very happy with it. Runs perfectly and is in very good condition. Only thing that doesn't work is cruise control.
