Don't mind the large steeing wheel... if the $$ is right. Can you all give me some basis for your dollar numbers? Does throwing in 4 Bridgestone Blizzaks make it worth a bit more?

Also, I test drove it again today (3rd time). I noticed that the rpm gets up to 2000-2500 at idle. Almost feels/sounds like a stuck choke (assuming this vehicle has a choke plate - which usually can be resolved by carb cleaner). Owner says car sat unused for at least 6 mos until now.

It does drive very well, suspension feel good, tranny kicks down when gas is floored. I did felt resistance in the gas pedal about halfway down. I had to press harder to get full accelleration - almost like it was stuck until I press harder. This may explain the high idle??
