Sold my 01 430

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Warranty was up this month and she spent 9 days in the shop for the second cracked sun roof frame. I couldnt risk getting hosed since her total for warranty work in the 12 months i owned her came to 14.5k!

Traded her for an 02 Jag XJ Super V8, much better ride, supercharged powerplant and tons of room!



Its been fun....
