Default Does anyone know anything about this car?

It's a black/black turbo with only 16,000 Miles - link. It looks like it was for sale at Willhoit when it had 15,000 Miles. From the CARFAX it looks like a three owner car, with the last owner purchasing it only 8 months ago.

Also, Willhoit had it advertised as a 96 and it's advertised on ebay as a 97. the door sticker looks like 2/97 or 12/97 it's hard to tell. I'm assuming it's a 97 due to the /97 build date.



The car is list as being in San Antonio, Texas and is advertised by ebayer automotiveenterprises (Jay). Does anyone know anything about him. From the feedback he seems to have a good reputation.

Thanks for the help,
Scott.

Based on the "VS" in the VIN # it is a 1997.

Give Mr. Willhoit a call, he's a good guy, and maybe able to share some info with you. He also is a Memeber here, and you can send a PM to "turbobooost".

Thanks for clarification on the year. I'll give him a call and see what he thought of the car. I know he turned it around pretty quickly.

I have an appointment with Sloan to have a ppi and leak down done on the silver S there but I'm starting to think your advice on the non S may be a better way to go, hence the question about this black one.

Scott, you're doing all the right things. Read a lot. Ask a lot of questions. Stay open to ideas and different directions. Continue to stay patient. Enjoy and embrace the search process. Few people are as fortunate to be searching for such a wonderful car.
