I don't believe it is a Limited. Just a decently optioned base.
Are we still thinking $2k? I can't see paying more. It's not like this is my childhood dream car. I like B-bodies but I'm not going to pay 3, 4 or 5x regular market value for one. But I do think this would be a good hotrod platform for me.

But the car is in Bourne...
I just took Jamie from "hell no" to "I dunno, I guess if he took $2k"

There's a SPID in the ad. What is the RPO for a Limited?

I was just trying to figure that out. I didn't decode it yet but checked a few codes.

Whoops, I quoted the wrong thing.

Yes, I'm trying to make the point that you can spend more for a clean NE car and still make out over getting a clean southern car (since those are far away).

If it is what you want, and not rusted, I would pay 2K. I agree with Adam. What are you going to do, find a slightly cleaner one for 1,800 and end up paying $2800 after travel costs and taking time out of work etc... If it is what they say, and they really took care of it and did the stuff they said, and it is black, and the leather isn't cracked, I would be willing to pay 2K over trying to get something long distance and having no idea what you are going to see... Think Jersey...

KBB for a non-Linited Private Party is $1,601 in "Very Good Condition". Is this a Limited?
The joke was: Who cares if it is Limited with regard to sale price, KBB only adds $83 to the value!
