Nice car but...............Price! Yikes.

And you will likely find you spend a lot bringing it to a reliable useable car after doing such low miles. My R always complains in the spring after sitting over the winter. Oh, it complains even over the summer too! :lol: :lol:

^ new tires... I wonder if those were an effort to make it roadworthy/enjoy it and they gave up for some reason, or to actually help sell the car and say you can roll it onto your trailer...
