7/2 I started my first 30 day on carfax, and its going to be a hard thing to give up when it runs out, just too much fun running all the VIN's, each one seems to have its own story.
This one only has two entries with mileage reported, 101 when its new in 85, and 58k in 2002, and now not on the carfax, but listed as 61k. 3k in 5 years isn't a great sign, but at least the car seems to have spent its whole life in same IL area, not like a lot of cars that have been to a handful of dealer auctions.
Just my two cents, and so its not some negative thing, this one is high miles, but looks like it could go cheap, cheap enough I wonder if the dealer isn't going to pull it at the last minute for a "local" sale.
87 146k AT gray/black bid at $4800.

OTOH carfax shows 12/03/2002 146,878, with essentially nothing since. No real ownership type driving in 5 years and the new owner can look forward to months of one problem after another showing up. Still, is going to be a cheap PSO, Porsche Shaped Object.
