what do u guys think?
im gonna look at it in a few days.. i saw pics of it...the driver seat is cracked where ur legs would rest but its a CA car and thats kinda normal due to the sun...
other then that it seems ok.. i did spot a broekn sun visor ...what else do i need to look out for?
ive hurd some thing about the windows going out and a recall on the throttle body?
i belive its got the org timing belt but i i found a place that said they would change it, the water pump and every thing that gos along with them for 600$ OTD..sound like agood deal?

this car is gonna be used mostly to drive back and forth to work (85 mile round trip 90% highway) dose the MPG drop alot when the tops down VS up?

Did you get it? Price looks good but do you know it runs on premum fuel? I love my C70 but not as a daily commuter. Say you get 20 MPG at $4/gal that is ~$4400 per year in fuel costs.
My 2 cents
