If I'm major, I'm introducing a bill to rename the city ASAP.

No wonder there is no tax base. Who would live in a place call Placentia?

Not here for the type of cars I was looking for (zhp with sp and pp (don't ask) in a darker color or maybe imola red and the 6 speed). The used BMW specialists were all about the same price for the same quality car. But car resale prices are typically higher here then everywhere else for some reason. They sell within a week at $27k unless they are really beat up.

I was never a fan, especially on darker color cars.

It depends on the color of the car. I don't like it on that.

That car would easily still go for $12,900 today if not more. EAG might even come calling. Funny how the market for manual wagons has gotten hot.
