i think i spoke to the guy but he said something like he didn't have the title due to a loan on the car so i didn't even bother......

I'd avoid this one simply because of the key words he added to it:

Funny that you brought it up. I also like the C36's styling more than the C43 but I definitely love the C43's V8 more. It's just a bit more edgy/aggressive.

I see a mint C36 in silver (I think it's the best color for it) all the time... and I still love it. That car is a definite classic.

G'luck finding one

Maybe I will just rebuild the top end of the engine and do intake, exhaust headers and a small turbo to get a little more torque and power. If I start swapping engines and ecu computers Im going to be in deep. JJ

Definitely have it checked out. Preferably by a independent mechanic, but if one is not available a dealesrship you trust is still good. I looked at a 97 one time and one of the major problems was the cruise control didn't work. The part to fix it was $1200 or $1600 depending which one was wrong. And that parts alone through a independent mechanic. Too bad you don't live closer to CO, there is a local 96 C36 w/45k miles for sale at a dealership. They are asking $15k but should really go for aound $13-$14k with the market here.

Hey Big arm,
