It has 130Kmi on it, very low miles for the age! Very interesting, if I didn't already have one such. It also has the euro headlights, usually considered a plus. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor:

I had a pipe separate from a CC on a car some years ago, took it to the muffler shop to get it fixed, they wanted some outrageous amount for a new system. Some kid there said he could weld it up if I just needed it to work for awhile, so for $30 or so he put about 2 inches of weld on the cat

new system. Some kid there said he could weld it up if I just needed it to work for awhile, so for $30 or so he put about 2 inches of weld on the cat and the header, was quite ugly, but it lasted for a coupla years I've done more than a reasonable amount of exhaust patching via welding.
