    Based on BaT past pricing it will probably sell for like $12,500. I swear it's just Hollywood production companies that must bid against each other for period correct cars.

        These damned vultures that snatch up these cream puffs only to crank the prices up really piss me off.

          Apparently this is a worldwide problem - we have the same problem in Poland with communist-era cars. They are a total crap, but people are cranking the prices to some totally nonsense levels.

            Sometimes I catch a glimpse of an attractive female and want to see another glimpse. Then I double take and it turns out all horrible like and I throw up a little bit in my mouth for ever having such lustful feelings.

            That old hag has rolled the odometer if you ask me. Here let me buy a brand new car, drive it to the first oil change and let it sit still for 13 years. Then I think I’ll start driving it some more, maybe light up inside and burn the seats and carpet with my smokes, just because.

            Just my opinion. I hate lies. And I just have that feeling the carfax is not telling the 1987-2000 truth on the mileage.

            I watched the videos. One had 8 views. I wonder if someone bid and never watched the video.

              I cannot comment on the validity of sellers claims but I do get a chuckle out of the commentators in the auction.

              One is skeptical about the rear flip up seats not original to car because they don't match while another thinks someone has messed with positions of the EGR solenoid...though I believe they are confusing that with the EVR, tab and tad solenoids commentating on how it should be on the lip of the plenum rather than than on the p.side inner fender. There are so many little changes through the years of these cars one really needs to be on their game to not make silly comments/accusations about what they once saw on theirs or a buddies as it may very well have been different between those model years.

                  I looked the car over again. It is from that nice dry desert. Maybe I shouldn’t call it a hag.

                  But the number of burns in the carpet and seats tells me owner 1 could have cared less about this thing. Garage kept for sure, but not necessarily cared for. The seller should have put tires on it. These tires are cheap. If they were original tires, I’d say keep them to prove the mileage. But they are already replacements.

                  Don’t know many cars that need plug wires at 30k. But the steering wheel looks like new.

                      I had to go back and read his post. I thought to myself, "I figured he would know that."
                      He does, but was just pointing out the ill-informed comments on the ad.

                          The window tint is an abomination.

                          Externally I could believe the 30k mile claim; the interior looks like at least 130K. Desert cars are deceptive in terms of under hood/ undercarriage. I had a '97 F250 I bought out of Vegas that looked "as new" (literally) under the hood. Not much worse on the undercarriage either. All decals intact, no oxidation, original clamps, wires, etc. It was a 70K mile truck, though.

                          This is a nice car, but far from perfect. It will bring all the money on BaT.
