GarageScout Take
Long-term ownership gives this Si a clear paper trail, with the current seller adding roughly 90,000 miles since 2005 and replacing the radiator and thermostat in August 2026. The tradeoff is substantial disclosed wear, including rust and body damage, inoperative sunroof and air conditioning, brakes due for service, and a removed catalytic converter; the accident notation and exempt title add uncertainty to its history.
Strengths
- Long-term ownership since 2005, with approximately 90,000 miles added by the current seller.
- The listing identifies a recent radiator and thermostat replacement in August 2026.
- Factory Si equipment includes four-wheel disc brakes, double-wishbone suspension, and 14-inch alloy wheels.
Watch For
- The Carfax report notes inspection after an accident or other incident in February 2003, and the Washington title carries an “Exempt” notation.
- Worn paint, visible body damage, and rust are present on the driver-side fender and doors.
- The sunroof and air conditioning do not work.
- The seller says the brake pads need replacement and recommends a brake-fluid flush; the catalytic converter has been removed.
