[Shotimes] 94 Moonlight Blue MTX FS

Fri, 09 May 2003 14:07:51 -0400

Randy,
    I agree with ya, My mtx 95' moonlight blue SHO has 115,000 on her and 
the book value is low on her too.  Some people think its a good asking 
price, others may not. Ask what you think is a right price and by the sounds 
of it, your in the ballpark.  Hell i got offered $3650 for my car and its 
plan stock, which to some people may seem obsurdly high. But people pay for 
what they want. And try to find a nicer, faster, sportier car for the loot! 
You can't. Just my opinion.

--Will
