Purchased star mark pre-owned for over $37,000 in 2000..original retail was over $98,000.00. Free and clear title. This would be a great opportunity for someone that works on cars and parts or as a hobby, or just for parts to get a luxury car for a fraction of the cost. The car was babied, garage kept and all maintenance was done over the years, all paperwork will be included. Over the past year the car was used in and out of New York City by a Doctor until another more feasible auto was purchased to replace it....hence we stopped all and any work on it, so that is why it is being sold in "AS IS" condition.
