with the miles on it I would also agree with the 9k range. I only paid 12k for mine with half the miles and alot cleaner.

Way too high for those miles and condition. But, maybe someone other than the current owner likes what has been done to the car and will buy it.

It is high mileage too, but it also has some Fiske wheels that I would really like.

Well, you could sell those wheels / tires separately for $2k+
That said. I'd never buy that car. It needs too much work because I could never drive it with those flames on it.

Friends don't let friends put flames on their cars. Not anywhere. Not ever.

Wether you are a fan of flames or not, those look stupid. They just abruptly start at the edge of the hood & fenders. Looks like someone's first attempt at a flame job. The wheels may be expensive but look pretty dinged up to me. Interior is trashed. Gonna be a tough sell unless they give it away. New paint job, interior and still has the miles. I feel better about what I bought now.

I have to agree with all of my fellow members here, I'd go $8.500. The interior is going to be a battle to deal with, but it does have high miles, but if it run great and needs only what you see, I suppose over time you could get the flames. . . ah either remove them or do something. They are just plain ugly, I don't know what the guy was thinking. The whole ad is a little confusing, he says
'Adult driven' but I'm damn sure the adult wouldn't have done this to their car. Personally, I'd walk away on this one.

I have two '99's. It looks like an earlier one in the ad.
