If you look up alot of cars, they will ask you about whether you are a business. Just say no.

Thanks JJF. I actually found the car on Ebay classifieds, and they give you the autocheck for free. It is a one owner S, and he swears it is in excellent shape. The pictures he posted line up with that, and a mechanic backs it up. I have a pretty demanding eye though, so we'll see. Even though I am getting a deal, I dont want a piece of junk...

I am not crazy about the fact that it has an OEM roof rack. Does anyone know if they have to drill into the roof for those?

Yes, they did. I had a roof rack on mine and took it off. There were two boltdowns per end of each rack for a total of eight. When the roof was repainted, the body man cut out round blanks of equivalent size, welded them in, then sanded them down. You can't even tell I had the rack on there now.
