With that low mileage I'm not surprised! I would have jumped on it in a second. I spent a month or two this last summer shopping for a first car for my teenager in that year-range (2004-2007) and had a hard time finding less than 100K miles...

I hate car shopping.

Yeah people did not believe the mileage was that low but it was. Had a 1.3 mile commute to work for years then when I moved I started the company truck home so it did not get driven at all.

It was my fun car. I used to take the canyon instead of the freeway in it. With the racing suspension  and z rated tires it handled like a dream. Loved driving it. Very little turbo lag and tons of torque. Car had more torque than horsepower.

I know a teenager would love this car but I am glad another 40 year old guy bought it. This car was too fast for a teenage driver. A teenager would probably have an accident in a car that fast.

Tough day I am sure.....not easy letting go.......I have a 2004 Dodge Durango that is coming up on 260,000 miles & I need to put $1,600 into it.......The problem is my tailgating stuff fits to the last inch. Problem number two is I am six foot five plus. I am also tall from the waist up so I don't fit in 90% of the new cars, trucks & SUV's.  So I am looking for a 2006-2009 Durango with low miles. Three weeks & no luck!!!!

You always hate getting rid of your "sporty" car. When my second child was born I took my Datsun 240Z (pre Nissan days) in and traded it for a Ford truck. It was the official end of my youth. I miss that car, it would do 140mph and still have gas pedal left.

Have many fond memories in a 240Z, high school buddy of mine had one back in the 70's.  We did some wild and crazy things in that car, we're lucky we survived those days and graduated from high school. ::)
