What, you mean those "zits on its ass"? It's for the parking sensors... which I can't imagine why you'd need, but c'est la vie. Whoever bought this thing new spent a small fortune on options; I did enjoy the heated seats today, though.

Thanks for the compliments, I'm excited to really get it out this weekend!

Beautiful ride! That's the first 99 I've seen with factory navigation. She's definitely loaded. Congrats!

Congrats as well. I just picked up my 99 last October and can't wait for the snow to go. There is nothing else like it on the road.

BTW: How much did you pay for it. I see the reserve was not met on the auction.

It is indeed the same one I posted before... it's taken about a month to finalize. The owner is in China, so it has been an unusual transaction to say the least. No worries, as I didn't really need it until the weather improved anyway, and sometimes the wait is the best part.

To answer the above question, we agreed on $20k (his reserve was $22.5k, which is right at Blue Book). I think I got a fair (not great) deal, so I am happy. It only has 22.5k miles on it, so I hope to enjoy it for many, many years.
