Default 99,134 mile Coupe six speed

Well, I guess I better "s%%t or get off the pot"....

Found a pretty graphite 6 speed coupe two weeks ago. He just took the price down to $8995!

I drove it again tonight. THis has to be the cleanest 100,000 mile car I've ever seen. I am no mechanic, but I can't find anything wrong with it. Not one DROP of oil in the engine compartment - no leaking that I could find from anything!

Only "Weaknesses":

The clutch seems a LITTLE worn, but not at all bad or grabby or anything. The fourway flashers sometimes only flash the left side. Everything else worked (but I forgot to verify the cruise works tonight, tho I THINK I tested it last time I drove it.)

Will that "tighthead1" guy in Arizona approve of this one for pizza?

Gonna try to make up my mind tonight and call him in the morning. DAMN, but Coupes sure have a lot of blind spots! I will also say that I am no longer so sure the 6 speeds are faster than automatics. It seems like the car pulls harder .... yet the delay due to shifting ... hmmmm, might take me some time to 'get it' with the sports-car-like shift in these cars. This aint my Ford Ranger's transmission, that is for sure.

Yea, it IS this pretty:
