98 Swift, 60k mi., $700



20 year old Swift 1.3L 5-speed with only 97k km = 60k miles.

2 sets of tires on rims.

Quote:
La 5eme vitesse désembraye parfois, je l'utilise tel quel quotidiennement...sinon tout le reste est ok.
Rough translation: 5th gear sometimes pops out, but I still use it as-is daily... everything else is OK.

Asking $700

Anyway, WHO NEEDS TOP GEAR FOR GOOD FUEL ECONOMY!!??

Drop another trans in there. Dime a dozen.
