About
Bought this car be mistake actually. Was on the auction sight and I watched it run through it's course. Auction ended without it getting the reserve. Came back up for bid the next week so I started a watch again. Thought the color was rather unique. Thought about it for a couple days and decided to bid on it. Put in my bid and wouldn't you know it, I got the reserve met. Guy calls me the next day and we worked out a deal. Actually found this in my home state of Nebraska in Omaha. Went home for a visit on my next weekend and picked it up. Been a great car so far. Bought it on May 18, 2007 and did some checking on it and it actually rolled off the line May 28, 1998. Can't get much closer then that on a used car. After I got it home the mod bug hit. Looks a little different now then it did when I picked it up. I think it looks much better.

Not much in the option department.
