Around 9 ish

It's probably a $3k car to SRJ but I talked it down a little and couldn't go lower.

I think you did real well! Nice color and options package + you know the expensive SBC pump was taken care of.

You'll never look back.....
Wonderful car.

Did you know you can check your oil level by toggling thru the buttons on the steering wheel? The owner's manual has all sorts of interesting info on the display.

I have a lot of reading to do. It's so awesome. I plan on paying it off ASAP and potentially look at something newer for the wife

I need to get one of these machines ....they are so rare around here though....I don't think I've even seen one for sale yet used at our local dealer....I've only seen a handful of them on the road period...

Nice car!
