She is in immaculate condition. For those that recommended I stay away from eBay I thank you. I looked on Autotrader and found what looked like a beautiful '03 but when I saw it in person I could tell it wasn't taken care of very well. The green one I bought didn't even catch my eye on the internet but when I saw the green in person I loved it.

I also bought a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty. I don't drive much (7 miles round trip to the train station) but I have so much fun driving this car I can see myself putting quite a few miles on her.

Chills,

Congratulations ! Awesome looking car !

Hope you had a better experience at Luxury Motors than I did...

Next step is joining the Chicago PCA.

There is actually a rally this Sunday in Wisconsin if you are interested.

Welcome, and enjoy !

As I've said a thousand times before, I love a green car.

Welcome aboard. You'll have a lot of fun here. It's a great group of people, and they really know their stuff.

Enjoy your new ride...
