Not a bad price, based on what you can see in the pics and the brief description. 190k is not terrible for mileage if the proper maintenance has been done. Buying it for that coin, I would expect to drop another $1-$2k in updates and fixes. All in, you would be at roughly $4500, so, still not bad. Just my thoughts.

I despise the paint job,but I do like the black roof. I told him I would have to either buy a new hood or repaint it. He has the original headrest and the tails were wrapped. i offered him $1500, he said no thanks but the car has been up for almost three months
