Searched 7 months finally found 50th Anniversary 1000 miles!
So I have been searching since last October for a 50th Anniversary model. Almost bought a convertible with 5000 miles and then I decided to go with this coupe since it had just 1082 miles and 1 owner. The car has never been seviced for an oil change, wondering how long I should wait to change the oil?

Purchased it for $28,500. A bit more than I wanted to pay, however it was showroom condition and such low miles that I couldn't resist. Trying to post pics from Photo Bucket, no luck! Any advice on posting pics would be helpful......Thanks

Wow an awesome find
From photobucket is not hard to post. You will need to copy the photobucket link and then use the "insert image" button on the post message toolbar.
Then paste the link in the insert image window and shazam! its done.

Wellll, let's see...it's 7 years old and has a little over 1000 miles on the clock....people like to change oil between 3-5 K so if you put another 1000 on in 7 years it looks like you will need to change it in about 14 years...or you could go by the oil life reading...

Great find! Best of luck and enjoy the new ride. Change the oil and the filter, supposed to be changed once every year if you don't reach the mileage change limit. You should also change the coolant as coolant life is 5-6 years.

Good for you. I just got my Anniversary Model. 12,000 miles. $23,900. I'd change the oil and filter yesterday. I love mine and you will love yours. Are you going to drive it or just keep it?
