Thanks, Stan. It`s academic now. It`s been bid over $14,000 while I`ve
been tracking it, and I`m not willing to go that high for that many miles.
Appreciate the help.

That`s probably a steal
15k per year 7 years = 105k on the clock. $ 14K for a $40 K car?
I have an `01 convertible loaded with 67k on the odo , Red.
I`ll buy a C-6 when they`re out and I `ll sell the `01 with 100k miles.
35 miles each way to the office for my girlfriend 5 days a week . All
service done by the dealer.
The car is perfect , Florida car, Garaged every night, under a carport every
day. Washed every week or 2.
It shows wear on the drivers seat where she gets in and out, that`s it.
I hope it`s worth more than $14,000 when I sell it.
I have a 79 with 100,000 miles and I spend more on maintaining a car that
only averaged 4,000 miles per year
