jump on it,,if it is still there. 850 1996

I took it for a 3 hour test drive last night and it was very nice, actually I fell in love with it. My friend told me the color is too loud, the red is too much, but I really liked it.

Here's the real deal, it's on consignment and after the lengthy test drive, the abs and tracs off light came on and eventually stayed on. Salesman said it's probably the abs sensor? $800 to $1,200. Also the drivers front tire is worn on the outside. Might be just an alignment issue, might be front end, don't know yet. Matching the tires would be almost $500 according to the salesman. So the person putting it on consignment could be looking at $1,500 or more just to get it a state safety inspection. I'd be willing to over look the scrape on the back bumper, the rear window switch inop in the main cluster and the minor dings in the upposltery if she will fix and keep the price, but I'm not giving her $10K for an 8 year old car.

It was a sweet ride though!
