LOL @ Mike... (or 4.2 swap)

But seriously, the 2.8? To each his own, I guess...

That looks like a solid car. Silver paint with oem sport suspension and wheels just like mine. The interior looks good, especially the seats. And the price is atleast reasonable. Dont be persuaded by the 2.8L haters

Quite the drive however. Good luck!

Honestly the 2.8 is a great platform to start with if you have the cash to drop. There are now forged rebuild kits available for around $1200 and as a 2.8 owner that's nice to see.

congrats on FINALLY settling on the new car. All kidding aside I can't imagine how frustrating this ordeal has been for you, not only finding the right car, but having to deal with an accident while trying to deliver your old car.

hope you get it soon.......much love for the 2.8!!!!
