Hydrollic suspension? That must be why his mileage is so much better than mine. I've never seen better than 24mpg in my TD.

Don't count on it--it's being sold by a shop, after all. If it's all that it's cracked up to be, offer no more than $5k.

Hmmm. Someone had a white TD with blue interior for sale a while ago while it was sitting at Star Tech awaiting some work. Could be the same car. That one had a bumper hitch on it with a cracked bumper in the vicnity of the hitch.

Thats also in a shady part of town, about 1.5miles from where my toolbox was stolen...

Definitely not an area I'd go with $8600 in my pocket.
