THIS VEHICLE WAS AQUIRED BY ME IN MARCH OF 2008 AND HAS BEEN IN STORAGE SINCE THEN. I ONLY DRIVE IT ONCE IN A WHILE AROUND THE STORAGE FACILITY TO CIRCULATE THE FLUIDS AND MAINTAIN IT IN DRIVING CONDITION. IT HAS BEEN ON NON OP STATUS SINCE I PURCHASED IT AND WILL COST APPROXIMATELY 98.00 TO REACTIVATE THE REGISTRATION TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT. I REPLACED THE BATTERY APPROX 8 MONTHS AGO AND DID NOT REALIZE THAT TAKING OUT THE BATTERY OUT WOULD DEPROGRAM THE SYSTEMS ON THE CAR SUCH AS THE RADIO AND CONVERTABLE TOP OPERATION, SO THE CAR SYSTEMS HAVE TO BE REPROGRAMED. THE CAR WAS ALSO DAMAGED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT FENDER WHICH WAS REPAIRED TO WHERE I COULD NOT TELL UNTIL SOMEONE WHO KNEW THE HISTORY OF THE CAR TOLD ME. THIS CAR HAS BEAUTIFUL 19 INCH LEXAN LUXERY WHEELS AND HAS A NICE LOOK TO IT, THE INTERIOR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE CONVERTABLE TOP RETRACTS INTO THE TRUNK. THERE IS A SMALL DENT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FENDER RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DOOR. IT IS HARDLY NOTICIBLE AND WAS DONE AT THE SMOG SHOP. SINCE IT IS NOT VERY NOTICIBLE I DID NOT SEE IT UNTIL A MONTH LATER, SO A COULD NOT PROVE IT WAS DONE AT THE SMOG SHOP.
