I have owned this car since 2001. I bought it from a high-end used car dealer on ebay when it had 6400 miles. The first owner was David Letterman (it was registered to his production company, Worldwide Pants). The car has always been smoke free. (The wheel lock key is in the ash tray.) It has been serviced as specified in the Maintenance Manual. Minor services by me; major services by reputable shops. Major services are every 60,000 miles and include timing belt and water pump - if you aren't familiar with these cars, the timing belt replacement is critical; if it breaks, engine is toast. Shocks were replaced at 120,000. Battery was new this year. The car still rides well and has enough power to break the speed limit in any state in third gear. Despite my ebay handle, this car has never been raced (I have a real race car for that). This is a used car and it does have some problems (see condition section). It is 18 years old and there are the usual dings, scratches, etc. There is one dent on the left front near the tire (see picture). It has one small area of rust (see condition section). If you aren't looking for a show car and are willing to put up with a few inconveniences, or if you are looking for a bit of a "fixer-upper", this is for you. I believe I have priced the car fairly. If you are nearby (I'm between Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC), I'll be happy to let you test drive it. If you have any questions, just ask.
