Car has 16k miles but runs, drives and looks like it's new. Vehicle has been garaged it's entire life. Selling because I got a Lotus Elise a while back and have't had the time to drive it as much as I'd like. Some minor chips from driving and some scratches on the passenger side rear (see pics) from another car backing into it. It's never bothered me too much, but would probably cost a few hundered dollars to fix.

Asking $21,000. Vehicle located in Atlanta, GA. Please email me at bmattern@gmail.com with any questions.

scratches by tail light (about 1'x1' area):

I've wanted one of these ever since sitting in a Beck several years ago. Very nice

Is there any storage space up in the front trunk or is it all occupied by the fuel tank?

BEAUTIFUL car.

Thanks! Great car, but I just don't have that many good roads to drive on around here (downtown Atlanta). There is some room for a small duffel bag up by the front bumper. I normally keep the convertible top and a tool/emergency kit there.

I hate posts like this.

I show the picture to Michelle, she says "That's beautiful!".

I ask her how much she thinks it is. "80K" she replies.

How about if we could get it for less than 25K? I ask her... "I'd take it" she replies.

It's 21K. "Wow!" she says.

Damn it! I'm trying to build a custom house and stuff like this keeps on coming up.
