There is one for sale in Lexington, KY on Autotrader for $29,000 with 8,000 miles. Tempting.

Not exactly sure on the roof number. Just posting what I saw on AutoTrader... It said "number 148 of 415 in the US," so I assumed it was 0148.

Too Stiff for Steets of San Francisco

Has she driven one?
The stiff suspension seemed way too harsh for the streets of San Francisco. I was there just December cause I buy my glasses at the same shop every December and it was a jarring ride. Can't imagine everyday driving in downtown SF, well I can deal with it but its not for everyone. Although, if not directly in the city, then GP is just fine

yes, and nope, it won't be in the streets of SF. My car is much stiffer than that and she doesn't mind it, so I think we'll be fine. thanks for pointing it out though.
