Newbie to the super coupe club...have two friends that have super coupes and I love them. Wanted to know if someone could run a carfax report for me and if anyone would be kind enough to take a look at the 92 sc w/ 102,000 miles with me if they live in the vicinity of St. Petersburg/Tampa Florida. Any help would be appreciated. Even just some things not to look over for me when I go to look and possibly buy...Guys asking $2700 and says excellent cond....what do you think it should go for? Once again any help please...don't wanna buy a dead horse ya know.


SC-ya Later

If I'm not mistaken, Jeremy lives over near Tampa, see if he'd mind going with you to look at it. He'd know if it was worth $2700.

Also, I believe you get the flyer mag in tampa...the one circualting around here has a 91 with 31k miles for like 3495....that sounds like a good deal to me....

Let me know what you wanna do...ill see if I can find the number for the one in the flyer if you interested
