yeah, my first thought was the price is outrageous!  Is it really anything that special or is it just another v8 'bird?  idk, not a huge mn12 fan...  maybe if it had mad motor work.

I'd offer him $500. My freinds little sister bought a 94 or 95 with less miles for around $1200. There's hundereds of those cars just hanging out with for sale signs on them right now. You could get one with alot less miles for alot less. For that i'd deal with a door ding or two.
