Yes, I did see that. I agree with Nick. I wish the color were a bit more fun. I've always loved the very rare navy blue. Then again silver is classic and hides defects. Speaking, off, that paint is not in great shape - particularly the hood. The rear bumper needs a respray.

But overall, it looks like a very clean car. I think it would be a great deal at under $10k.

EDIT: I do strongly hate those wheels and particularly that they are chrome, but that's ok and easy (though pricey) to correct.

EDIT #2: The commenters make good points re: the raised hood on driver's corner and the lack of videos about it running, the top operating properly, etc.
