Actually it`s a car on E-Bay that I`m bidding on located in Florida at a

wholesaler. Supposedly no Carfax incidents. I had a 99 C-5 lease car which

I liked a lot. But this year isn`t a year I`d put out too much money on a

sportscar, but figured that if I could get a C-5 cheap, I`d do it. But I

only put 36,000 miles on my leased C-5, so I have no idea of how a 100,000

mile 97 would hold up. So I figured I`d ask.
