I remember this car well. I tried to buy it from the original owner back in the early 2000's with the intent on reselling it. The owner lived in the Phoenix area if I remember correctly and was asking $35K for the car when it had roughly 32,000 miles on it. It was special ordered for his wife new. We tentatively agreed on $32K, but a middleman broker (who would later become a good friend of mine), swooped in with the promise of getting him more money for the car. And he did. He listed it on Ebay and sold it for $47K. It would have sold for even higher, but he sold it early to someone off of Ebay. It's definitely appreciating in value though. Very beautiful car!
