In 1978 my wife & I bought a brand new Corvette & a brand new Datsun B210 GX 5 speed......we had the Datsun Zeibarted & Minged......4-5 years later the Datsun was TRULY-TRULY a piece of Swiss Cheese......I was afraid my feet would fall thru the floor!!!!

zq8.............I'm getting the Bright Silver one tomorrow (Saturday) ....THANKS for the tip.....looks like the moderator deleted the info you gave on the dealership.....glad I read it before it was deleted.....Duane is fixing the front plate holes today & we're driving from KC (471 miles) tomorrow to pick it up $17,000 out the door....I owe ya man! 16 miles on odometer, Automatic & Nav.
The VIN is 8X076028....THAT MEANS IT WAS ONE OF THE LAST 20 EVER BUILT.
Wife happy.....it'll be hers......Mine's an'07 6 speed with the lifetime powertrain ....when I gave $23K for it a year ago I felt like I stole it from Chrysler.....but at $17K this almost unbelievable!!!!

Yes, just the 3/36....which started for this car in Dec 08. No Lifetime Powertrain....but for $17K....what the hell!!
When I paid $23K for my 6 speed (with Lifetime Powertrain) in Dec '07.....I felt like I was stealing it from Chrysler......this deal (since the sticker on this one is >2K more than mine) is an $8K better deal (auto & nav).
I approached locals to match as there are still about 20 7s & 8s left in KC area....their reply = " Drive carefully to Illinois. "

This is the best car for the money I have EVER bought ! There were only 19 built after yours. Mine (75112) was built on 10/16/07. Tell Duane he can just mail me a big fat commission check ! I'm sure he will. Have a safe round trip. I had just decided to get the Silver one also, but too late now. Glad you got it !

They got to me, instead of $17,000 I had to write a check for $17,010.....damn it!
zq8.....is that you on the other forum? Yeah, it was built on 12/11/07.....factory stopped on 12/17/07...as I understand it. Kinda impressed with her automatic....but still prefer my 07 stick.....she named hers Wilma & mine Fred.

Wow What a price. I will never understand why all are dumping these cars on the market for next to nothing.

From the Chrysler point of view I guess that next to nothing is better than nothing.

Well, we left Saturday morning...drove close to 500 miles to Illinois...got there about 2pm (snowing....miserable....the car was outside....I looked it over as best I could in the snow....(had been assured by the internet salesman in writing in an e-mail that there wasn't a single nick-dent or scratch).......wrote the check for $17,010....never let it out of our sight on the way home....put in the garage by midnight....got up the next morning & took it to the car wash (before the wife awoke) &....found a dent down below the passenger side strakes (R front fender low)....not visible in the snow on the lot. Dealership refuses to fix......check cancelled....truck being sent to take it back.
2 estimates were around $1,200-1300 to fix.....still a good deal....but it's an kind of a Klingon honor thing.
