Pass.
We bought our 98(E0) Dec 97 build.
37,000 miles in GREAT shape from a dealer
for less than that a few months ago...
Keep searching. IMO that really just needs
a good detail to "look" good. As stated above
the car has been driven hard most likely though!

Good Luck!

What did the rest of the car look like? From the looks of it, the car never had a carwash, so I'm curious how the paint has held up over the years. It's wierd, every SVT I see in for service at my dealership looks like crap, seems like no one takes care of these cars properly.

What do you have dealer?
You get any special dealer discounts on shipping a car?

Cartman's is real nice but after I pay shipping the cost of the car goes up to like $12,500. I'm trying to figure out something.

The car looke fine, not everybody shines thier motor, the seat looks as if its been sit in( if your goona drive the car you'll have to sit in the seat) I bought a 3 year old BMW 740i and the seat looked alot worse than that. and if the bumber is'nt scraped then you never drive it anywhere. Its a used car for crying out loud! offer him less thans hes asking and detail it the way you want.
Good luck

i would serioulsy think about it before getting that one- yes you could take it and have it detailed- engine just needs a good cleanin- my suggestion- e-bay auto and auto trader.com- last month they had about 5 svt's. newer- less mileage and for less $$. I ended up getting a 99 se before i found the svt's at those sites. you can do better for that much $$
