Awwwwww what do YOU know...you are just an Ohio State fan...

I would tend to agree that 40 G-notes would normally be a lot of money for this type of car.

Three things detract from the car's price (in my opinion). 1. The holes on the passenger side of the console left behind by a cell phone installation. 2. The cheap, OEM steering wheel. I would want the leather, Benz sports steering wheel. 3. When they installed the Euro lights and removed the headlight wipers they apparently used the old cover panels and so you can see the holes where the wiper motors used to be. I would have used new panels like I did with my car, or at least cover up the holes.

On the other hand, this car seems to have "good provenance" (you need to read the ad on The Star, and that adds value to the car.
