<x-charset iso-8859-1>One thing to note is that they state the car has already been repainted.
 I do not think a garage-kept car would need a repaint with such low mileage,
unless there was damage or rust, something for a prospective buy to think
about.

On another note, I recognize the high bidder as a Phoenix resident so maybe
I'll see the car in person...
