My search continues...

Forget the color, buy the condition and price first, color last. You'll go crazy hunting for a specific color. I spent a long time looking for a Cassis Red car. Took a really long time to find and buy one I liked. When it came time to sell it was a poor choice and a hard sale. Having owned so many of these cars I should have known that color is not nearly as important as price vs. miles vs. condition.

The thing that still makes this black car a winner is the set of 7 and 9 by 16 Fuchs. That's $4500 worth of wheels there, plus if all that work they list is documented then the car should be a good driver.
