Great student car.  Great, dependable, cheap transportation.  Looks clean.

'80 Datsun 210 4-door 4-speed.  Silver, body in great shape.  Drives
excellently!  AM-FM, gas-mileage in the 30's.  112,000 miles on car.
2nd owner.  A great commuter car.  Fabric seats are torn, but funky seat
covers hide them.  Complete with dueling rear-window decals: Cal and
Stanford!

$1200/offer.  I've come down some.  If you still don't like the price,
make me an offer.

I have not driven this car for two years and I want to get rid of it.

Here are the salient features:

Guards Red - paint is perfect
Rebuilt engine with about 10K miles on it
New brakes: front rotors, pads, etc.
New Koni shocks in front; (also have the rears which I never installed)
No rust (had the floor pan replaced a couple of years ago)
Recaro seats
Decent stereo + alarm
New tires
Dual Weber Carbs

What problems does it have?  The throttle linkage is broken, but this
should be easy to fix.  The engine also has a minor oil leak, as do most
Porsches of this vintage. The car has not been driven in two years, so it
will need some attention to getting it running again.  (The only thing wrong
with it before was that the throttle linkage was broken, however.)

All totalled, I've put about $6K into the car since I've had it, and I have
all receipts for the work that I've had done and the parts I've bought.

I'm willing to sell it for the best offer over $6K in the current state it's
in just to get it out of my garage.

If you're interested, you can call me at (415) 493-4727 in the evening or send
e-mail to polly@grover.stanford.edu

I can answer that -- they're unreliable, expensive to repair, and you
sometimes have to wait quite some time for parts to be shipped from Italy.

(Two people I knew at my former place of employment owned them, so that's
not just hearsay.)

I have to admit, though -- they're totally cool cars!  I came *very* close
to buying one a couple of years ago (and at $12,800, too).  Flooring it
at 80 on the freeway was a truly exciting experience...
