Bummer.
That's the trouble with a repaint - as I'm sure it was - the factory prep is much better.

No repaint on this one. It was still factory paint per my inspection. It was bubbling out between the inner wheel well and outer quarter.

Where do you live, TurboJerk? That blue one looks identical to the one I test drove up in vancouver, WA before I bought my '03, and the mileage is the same.

Keep in mind you'll need a timing belt at 90K, so work that bargaining point!

'03 PT Cruiser GT 5spd: removed muffler and airbox silencer future planned mods are K&N typhoon intake, 2" rear lowering springs, hopefully some kind of old skool mag style wheels, and possibly at least a stage 1 turbo upgrade. Oh and i GOTTA get rid of those $#@!'in flame decals!

If any doubts about them, keep looking - don't by a mistake. Color is much easier to get over than a problem.
