Default Boosted Buick DD for trade

I've had this up a couple of times before and never really found what I was looking for. This has been my daily driver for 3+ years now, and it runs amazing. Lightly modded, peaks at about 9-10 lbs, gets around 22 mpg. I drive the car 60 miles a day, never really had a problem with it other than the usual replacements. The engine has roughly 86k miles on it, it was swapped in before I got the car but I DO have the receipts.

3800 series 2, 3.8L v6 L67, Eaton M90 blower

It's loaded, it's got every option that the 97' offered.

Mechanically, the car is solid, runs great and pulls hard. Exterior paint is about 5/10, it's peeling and fading, but no rust.








Dash, center console, door trims etc. were recently painted black, it has some imperfections, some dimples here and there and a couple of missed spots but it should be able to be easily touched up.

Pros

3.5" fender well intake, 9" k&n cone filter
3.6" INTENSE Modular Pulley System
3" Hogan downpipe
External trans cooler
ZZPerformance oversized aluminum radiator
Taylor 8.2mm thundervolt plug wires
Moroso spiral flow muffler
INTENSE 180 deg. thermostat
Summit cross drilled/slotted rotors & Hawk ceramic pads on the front
New rubber on the front, roughly 3k miles
New alternator
New upper o2 sensor
Starter is about two years old
New battery
Brand new Kenwood head unit
Doors - Hifonics 5 1/4", fit two 3" speakers where the tweeters were
Two Sony Xplod 6x9 in rear
RCA and amp wire run under the carpet from the head unit to the trunk
Amp power run to the trunk



Cons

Needs paint soon, the peeling is progressing quickly
Exhaust leak at the downpipe, it was supposed to be a temporary deal but I don't have the welding capabilities to fix it, planned on picking up a stock catback
Broken supercharger coupler, it literally does nothing, other than go bad and rattle around, $40.00 part
Sunroof motor is burnt out, it goes back and up you just gotta force it a bit, they're about 50 bucks
Needs rear brake pads, and I'm sure the rotors don't have much left in them
Pass side door handle is broken, very common problem, I've fixed the drivers side already
Drivers side seat leather is ripping in a couple of spots, rest of the leather in the car is 8/10 with no rips


All in all, it's a great car and just needs some tlc.


Looking for trades mostly, specifically a Honda (hatch, rex, possibly a coupe) old school integra, but I'm open to offers, just nothing domestic and no 8 cylinders.
