Wow. I'll admit, I did a google map search and you are 2,400 miles away from me or 35hr of driving.
If I had it shipped, I would guess $1k at best. If I did a fly/buy it would be be 3 days of driving and 1 day of flight. Time is harder to come by more so than money right now.
On the other hand, not the perfect time to drop over $5k on a car purchase.

I want but I think I will have to pass.

Pics? And when is it due for a timing belt? I know very little about these cars but DD#2 would like to move up to something larger and 4-door.

Chain, not belt.

Chain, and as an 05 it has all of the factory updates on it, so it should be good forever.

Reason for sale is SWMBO needs a newer car, and I found one, but can't quite stretch it, and either of our DD's are worth like $500 trade in. I figure I can sell the one worth something and drive the 151K mile Grand Prix GT into the ground, then get me a newer DD.

OK. Now I have to consider a cross-country fly-n-drive. Thanks.
