The car was a 1 owner car and was from the area I live in but was bought at auction by an out of state dealer that I bought it from. I do have the original paperwork from the dealer the car was sold new at and the window sticker. The car sold for around $46K new and was delivered in June 1998 and was ordered by the buyer in Feb. 1998. I bought it sight unseen except for photos, there was some paint work done and it still has a lot of parking lot dings and some minor dents. It runs and drives very nice though. I replaced the top so far, front brake pads and sensors, floor mats, and had the immobilzer box repaired. I haven't driven the car very much so I guess time will tell as far as any repairs it will need. I think I got a fair deal on it, I was disappointed with all the little dings though even though the dealer did mention it, he seemed like an honest person.
