Default Found my car!!

Thanks everyone for your help. I found my car. 1996 with 34k miles in sage green. I grab it on Monday.

I cant wait! I’ll be driving it home which is a 800 mile drive. It from a brand dealer. They will be servicing it before I drive away.

Ill post pics pics once I get them.

Regards

erik

Sounds good, but the topic has been 6 or 12 cylinders. Now you are leaving us in suspense until Monday!

Default 6 cylinder

lol. You are right. I also figured hardly any ‘96 12 cylinders. That would be a rare bird.

No no it’s a nice gently used 6 cylinder.

i told my wife it’s an investment not an expense. We’ll see what it is in a few years.

This one? I was looking at this ad yesterday, but its not on the dealer website, which tells me somebody has already claimed it.

That looks like a very sweet sled! The color changes a bit with the sunlight. Very classy. These cars are great. Engine is bulletproof. Keep the service up, like fluids, rear diff, etc. If you spend a little each year doing the things that are supposed to be done, you'll have a very reliable cat.

Top down on summer nights, with the aqua blue of the dash lights. Its a winner, and timeless. Gets lots of attention at gas stations, parking lots, etc. Best of luck to you!

I'm late to the party on this one - love these threads! To me that answer has always been very simple: Do you need 12 cylinders?

[edit] saw the linked ad - I do like that color! What's the paint code?

I do if it is a high revving and high horse power package like a Ferrari or Lambo. Damn I love the sound of those engines.
