Your 9500 car can get to a $15k car very quickly and it may be better to start out a little higher with a car that already has been gone through by someone.

A high mileage SC that's all fresh condition mechanically and ok in the cosmetic department should be 11k IMHO. Maybe you guys can connect.

This is a very nice car that was built with care. And you can see what kind of care the builder uses if you read this thread:
