So I have been on and off searching for a year now, and I finally got my Alpine 88' 325iX.
I previously owned a 00' GTI, and a 04' WRX, but I now was looking for something a little less expensive for school next year.
After really getting in to the search this summer I found one in Snohomish, WA.
I was traveling to Leavenworth, WA last weekend anyways so I decided to swing by and check it out.
The previous owner just had the car inspected by Classic Motorsports and ended up replacing things such as spark plugs, gear oil, brake fluid, timing belt, rear shock absorber, front strut cartridge insert, etc. and ended up spending $1500. Had all the receipts to show for. This was performed only 2 months ago.
Anyways, ended up purchasing the car and had a nice cruise on HWY 2 from Snohomish to Leavenworth. I could really feel the elevation when I got near Steven's Pass, but otherwise this car felt great.
Stayed in Leavenworth Sunday night then headed to Hood River on HWY 97 for some kiteboarding.
Brought the car home monday night and gave her a wash today along with a minor interior detail.
On to the Pictures.

Anyone spot the bonus?
I'll give you a hint:
Anyways, I'm glad to be new to the community, and I'm looking forward to going to meets and such.
I like to ski, sail, and kite board, and I'll be going to the University of Oregon this year.
Any tips, suggestions, or what to do with the car next are appreciated.
I'm thinking clay, polish, wax, interior detail, new shift knob (falling apart), bumper swap.
What do you guys think?
Thanks, Elliot
