swfl83rx7 - I saw this car on Ebay a while ago. I think you must have purchased from the dealer that was listing it (I can't recall where they were located, but for some reason I think it's Illinois. Is there anything wrong with the car, did it not meet your expectations? I think it had 14,700 miles at that point. Another question is why wouldn't you disclose that the engine was rebuilt? I spoke to the dealer and they claimed the car sat for too long and the Apex seals were blown, hence the need for a rebuild. Maybe something changed or you received a different story from the dealer, but I'm just stating what the internet guy told me from the dealer last September. The car looks beautiful, but I was just wondering the cars story prior to you owning it and what you've experienced with the car since you adopted it. Have you had any issues, or saw problems with the rebuilt engine? I am in the market for a vehicle in this condition, but would need to ensure the cars history is accurate and I wouldn't be taking a problem off someone's hands. If I recall correctly, you paid $8K, which we all thought was a little rich, but as you state, it's all relative to what a buyer and seller can agree to. Please let me know your thoughts and maybe ultimately we can cut a deal that makes sense for both of us.

Thought the site was other enthusiasts and supporters - not haters.
