I was just at that place earlier today checking out a Porsche 928 they had. I completely forgot about that MINI otherwise I would have checked it out. Since it's an 02, somebody probably bought it thinking it could be an investment as a future collectors car. Too bad the new MINI brand did so well, otherwise that car might have been a good investment!

All too often I see and hear about DeLoreans that were parked and forgotten about for 10-20 years. The end result is not pretty. If that 02 wasn't stored properly, it could be a boatload of problems! Even if it was stored properly, it would have also needed to be brought back to life properly as well. Dumping a few gallons of fresh fuel and trying to start it could actually make things worse!

Oh, as for the 928 I looked at. Turns out I'm too tall as my head was pressing against the roof. Oh well...

I've seen a few cars sit and sit and sit at this dealership, guess they have cheap loan rates.

Must be on crack.

It will depreciate 60% within the first month of driving.

I'd rather pick up a 2010 MCS with a full warranty for $500 more and drive the thing.

If anyone can find the actually VIN i can run it and see if it was ever titled. Even if it wasnt titled the VIn should still run.
