Good Buy?
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/2171401884.html
Im not a huge fan of verts but at that price I was thinking about picking it up as a toy.
Seller states that the rear window (on the top) needs to be tightened and the visors are worn.
Seem like a fair deal to everyone? Ill have better pics this afternoon

Not a bad price at all. As long as there is nothing major wrong with the car, it would be worth a look.

Love the color combo Sebring Silver/Red interior, but it's an auto, that's a negative for me. I have the same year 'vert, but is SS/Black interior, MN6. Wish I had the red interior. Good price though. Good luck!

for some reason it looks like the front passenger fender has been replaced. its missing a piece of molding, doesnt look the same shade as the rest of the paint, and there seems to be a bigger gap where the hood meets compared to the driver side....or it may just be the camera, either way, i would check for undercarriage damage on that side especially. good luck
peace!
peace!

It's about 50/50 on who has body side moldings or not. Mine are sitting in the corner in the room here.
Flash maybe showing up something even though its daytime. Getting that vehicle in fluorescent light will tell if there is a paint issue. Looks ok for the price if mechanical is ok and checks out. Of course they are all a risk, you might need to put some into it so that it can be counted on as a dd.

dont know. I had already got him down to 11.8 but that was before i actually found this out. Honesty goes a long way...why not just be up front w/ me?
(and yes he owned it at the time)
