Hey--know it's been awhile, but this one just popped up on CL today and it's not nearly as far as Washington state lol Omaha is a ways, but it sounds like it's right up your alley price wise. . .

looks like it has a SUPER clean engine bay, and the floormats are in the trunk (cuz apparently that's a pretty big deal)

nice find, stock floormats are hard to find clean, so when they're in the trunk that usually means that unused or used very little, so they could be worth quite a bit of money, usually this is the case for floormats in special edition cars like the intimidator or dale jr

I've seen this car on either autotrader or cars.com. I'm not sure which one. I'm just a bit worried about buying a car without ever driving it...not to mention the extra cost of getting it to me or me to it.

Is it just me or does it look like the tires are a lot bigger than the stock size? The wheel wells look "stuffed" to me.

as far as the tires go--I'd say they look stock size, and they're BF Goodrich which from what I've heard, blow Goodyears outta the water. Def. understand about the buying on a whim, about the only thing i could say is i could test it out next time i'm in omaha. . . . .else give em a call and see what they'll do. . . .goodluck

Thanks for the offer! If it comes to that I'll let you know.

I found one in PA that has 50k miles and is listed at $11,900. Its absolutely exactly what I'm looking for. It sucks that its 10 hours away!

Hi `Dave, a great one is worth the `drive 4-Sure
It looks like brand new.
Just think of the `fun you will have driving it back home


It would be great if we have a member that lived close to New Castle, Pa that could go & check it out.
But it does have a CarFax
`Dave,Good Luck and let us know what U decide ~> `ok

Maybe with the cost of fuel, you can get a better deal ?
I'm sure that you can....Get ready to travel : )
Fast ==================Kick in the SuperCharger : )
