Technically it's a good deal but I dont think they can sell it
in Europe for $36K. When they took the Z32 off the market
in 1996 it was $46K here. There's some tough competition like
Mercedes AMG SLK 32 $43K
BMW M3 $41K
Porsche Boxter S $37K
BMW 330 Ci $28K
All prices without sales tax.
I like the Chrome silver more and more. I wonder how they mix it?
