[Shotimes] 94 Moonlight Blue MTX FS

Fri, 9 May 2003 12:44:20 -0500

Not trying to embarrass you at all. I have '96 upgrade, FPS ATX, Tokico and
Eibachs, PP y-pipe, $1400 of new suspension pieces in last 30 days so I
should ask over the 'outstanding' condition of the pricing guides?

Good luck, The higher you sell your car, the more hope there is for mine.
