You asked earlier about the two dc drives. One is obvious on the radio. The other is located on the lower right on he radio where it says "Tilt". Push that button and there should be a factory CD in it.

Yeah run from that one. This is one of the cases where people buy a car stuff some foam behind tge damage and try and make it look better than it is. Id say if you did your own work the parts to fix this one would run 6-8000. Youd have in it close to what you can buy a better one with a clear title. Id stay away from 09 as every unique body part on it is expensive. Unless you buy a perfect one and keep it perfect and dont drive much as these tend to be more investment cars
Also notice he did not lower the top. That can be 1-2000 to repair.its a good color but see a lot of wrong going on with it
Its not hard to get the title in tn. You nust have to show where you got the parts. Ive not did one in some time. What i was really talking about was someone selling a car ready to go all repaired and inspected that had minor damage being a good car if you bjy it right. A lot of these cars had minor damage insurance would total jt but the owner would keep it, repair and drive it for several years but now wants to sell it.

You might want to check the cost and availability of the parts, especially the headlights.

Yikes! You ain't kidding, robert.ogden2009. Here's one that's a little pricey:

$3,000 headlight!

It's funny--right under the thing is an offer to finance through PayPal. Imagine financing a headlight!

Ah, I think I'm with you now! But I don't think I've run across a single one like that. I'd expect that type to be on a rebuilt title, and I haven't seen that anywhere.

Just musing a little here. This is the cheapest one I can find that's not salvage, etc., and it really doesn't seem bad. I'm tempted to just take a flyer on it. If it proved to be a dog, I could still probably sell it for something, and I wouldn't be out too much.

Thanks for the info! I've seen a system that does that somewhere before, i think.

I'm surprised that I often see a recall note in these ads. Why in the world would there still be recalls out on cars this old?? Did the owners just not pay attention?

 

[XLR Hopeful!]

Ran across one in my own backyard! More than I wanted to pay, but...maybe. It's a brand new listing--I would hope for more pictures soon.

Carfax attached to add some context.

What do we think here?

 

[mickeytee]

Best year, good price and color. Thats a deal if it checks out

 

[XLR Hopeful!]

Well, apparently you are right, mickeytee. Somebody called in and put a deposit on it before I could get there. The dealer said they would let me know if the depositor doesn't follow thru.

Oh well--the quest continues!

I really love that Blue Steel color! Acceptable miles, too. I wish this one was a little bit newer.

05 Blue Steel & Shale

Wonder if it would be worth taking a chance on? I think this is the last year before the adaptive lighting came in, so I would think at least headlights would be cheaper.

 

[robert.ogden2009]

Check the price on the headlights. I think they are still very expensive.

 

[XLR Hopeful!]

This one is interesting--price, miles, etc. Generally I'm not a fan of Vogue tires, but they seem to look pretty good on this car.

I've been impressed with how well-kept every one of these cars looks! Well, until now--I'm afraid this one is falling into hooptydom:

Poor XLR!

Oh my, pull the grille and trash the car. Haha
