We have two of them kicking around here, but, umm, they're kind of spoken
for. I have a few vultures circling my daily already. GL with the hunt,
what you need to do is "cultivate" one, you know, like my kid did?
Encourage a friend to buy one, then educate said friend in correct care and
feeding (turbo cool down/oil changes/etc), and wait till they roll it,
preferably right after a timing belt change. He paid $2500cdn for the car,
that was the insurance company's asking price, as a point of reference. :)

And it's 3 months 27 days. Really YIKES!!!!
