I think that the greater the number of previous owners, the greater the chance that information regarding care and associated maintenance records will be incomplete.

This one may hit $75k to $80k. Rare color and 7 days left.

Yes, I think in the end it will fall just of the BaT record of $92k.

I went back and looked at those photos again. I agree with you. At least $90k.

I get that wood trim is a personal thing, but to me, it just doesn't look right in our spartan interiors.

That white car looks great though, even with those heavy techno wheels!

Some folks like the wood. I usually don't but for some reason with this car I do.

That car gives me hope since my car is very similar. Mine has higher mileage, but I would say mine might be an overall better sorted car.

Heavy Techno wheels? Aren't they made by BBS and are hollow spoke? Do they weigh more than the twists?
