Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

I've never seen one of these before. I have to say that it really caught my eye. Sporty but understated. And surprisingly reasonable, price wise, from looking on KBB. I talked to the owner for a couple of minutes. They made them for only two years; this is a '94 with 24k original miles ! I would have loved to seen under the hood, but I could tell that the lady wasn't interested in hanging out doing the car talk thing.
