Difficult to tell but I'd guess that the stated 19K mi is not accurate.
And the biggie is it has a "Rebuilt" Title, but seller does not know why.
Wow .. well it would be interesting to see a carfax report for sure. Anybody have an account to run one?

I ran a carfax, and it got "salvage/rebuilt" title in 11/2003. IT had 5220 mi in 3/2003, and by year end 14300. 14428 by 5/2004. No further miles reported, but it was sold to the present owner sometime between 5-8/2004. Georgia did not require mileage reported since it had a branded title. I hope this helps.

I thought about going if closer, but airfare CLE to Savannah costs almost double what I can fly to SFO.

I tt the IRS agent, and he says it runs pretty good, but the interior is trashed (leaving your roof stuck open will do that to you!). It would be a cool project, if you didn't mind the branded title.

If someone buys it please let us know. Good luck!

haha yeah... was an adventure.

It sold to a mail in bidder for 13,500 (or 13,700 something like that).

It was extremely neglected but it did run pretty good. Honestly looked like it had sat in salt water for some period of time. I hope whoever won it will be happy, but I wasn't willing to go over 10k after I saw it in person.

No pics... sorry

Ouch. So glad I didn't go. I was hoping for $9k, but might have gone to 11. After hearing what you said, 9-10K was about it.
