[Shotimes] 94 Moonlight Blue MTX FS

Fri, 9 May 2003 11:26:27 -0500

Paul, I think you should re-check your EDMUNDS, it shows a value of $2,515
retail.

NADA shows a value of $3,690 retail.

And Manheim is showing retail of $2,625.

IMHO that SHO is worth about $2,800. The color is a real PLUS, the base
model and high mileage is a negative though.
