Selling "Prizm A" to my brother :(

We've got way to many cars around so I guess it's time to sell something. I really though I'd drive it a couple hundred thousand more miles but something has to go. It's been a GREAT car.

Don't worry, I made him promise he wouldn't crash it and when he was going to get something else he has to sell it back to me.

mostly stock:
tach cluster w/outside temp
heated seats,
remote start/keyless entry
decent stereo w/i-pod controls
tinted windows & tail lights

Nice, super clean!

That is a lot of highway miles on a 3-speed though - love it. These are pretty tough cars that will keep going as long as you stay on top of the maintenance.

Good to hear that it's going to a good home.

Looks mint for that many miles!

Yeah, it's a crap load of miles for a 3 speed. It get's driven 70-75mph most of the time too. I would be keeping it if it was a 4 speed cause it's the cleaner one of the Prizms. It's hard to argue with the 4 speed though, so I'm keeping the 4 speed. I've taken good care of it but I have NOT babied it at all. I have actually done plenty of towing with it. Nothing super big (1,000lb~) but just an example of not babying it.

I think the most impressive part isn't how many miles it has but that it's such a solid well running car (that doesn't burn oil) with that many miles. I's got plenty of life left at this point.
