That seems like strong money for the 1997. The car looks good with only 56,000 miles.

I've never known another group of car folks so worried and anxious about the pricing on similar used vehicles.

If you are buying this car as a collectors car - you better stick it in the garage and never drive it (or enjoy it). And then cross your fingers.

Otherwise, who cares? Drive it and enjoy it and if it happens to be worth a couple bucks when it's all over, great. Odds are it won't be though, and that's okay. You bought a car, not a Rembrandt.

Its a nice car, but its not worth $15K. When I said must have had low miles, I meant ridiculously low, like 5,000 miles or something like that. At 56K miles, its just another used car.

Buyer must have had too many cocktails.
