<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... Everett Barnes http://www.thesamba.com >Though true, I agree w/Everett.
