this is just my opinion, but...
First one - 5.5k for an auto GR? Pass.....
Second one - 6k for a early model auto? Pass...

The red one you will be looking for fog/parker and indicator lights as they are missing.
Price can come down a bit.
The K's on the two of them are low that could be right but I just don't know. The clusters could have been changed out so you need to look for other signs of true K's.

He won't budge on the price much though.

Yes Taz I know what I said above, an even safer option would have been not to have five kids... :lol: saftey is sometimes overrated!!!

Offer to just take the stock rims/tyres, should reduce the price at least $1000.
....and I want the seats for my FTO :lol:

Will see how I go as I'm working all week. How long you staying for? Might be able to come down Friday about 5pm as I will need to wash the FTO before showing it off :lol:

EDIT: Was the FTO you looked at today @ Lakehaven?
