I spoke to a salesman at the dealership in Santa Barbara and he told me that the car was really nice. He said that they checked out the car and it was very clean. They found original jack, tools, and a can of un opened factory touch up paint in the trunk! Someone was on the way to buy it, but he was not sure how serious the guy was. If this was only closer to GA!

Well it looks like someone made the right decision and bought it. Now they have it up on ebay for sale. they buy at 3k now selling for 15k lol guy is smart! though i highly doubt he will get that for it. Gonna take a while to sell it.

I personally would keep it in garage for a few years, drive it to shows here and there. The longer you keep it the more value it has.

That this is "mint" ! This is a deal of the year for the actual buyer and a huge miss on "Pronkie's" part.

I am sure the seller is a member here. Dont be afraid to speak up. You sir are one smart man!

I passed on this deal because I have too many cars and have nowhere to park them.....I just sold the SE this past January because it sat out under a car cover and in five years drove it only 3k miles in that time span....
