Congrats on the 55...seems like you got a GREAT deal on the car, looks like you paid "wholesale" for it ...and it only cost you an extra 6 to "trade" up, I think you definitely made the right choice

That's a great deal plus you got it from a 1st Owner that is not a street racer.

Consider what I paid for mine, it really hurts because I thought I got a great deal.

Congrads.
