I just purchased the car today. The miles is correct. I will post pics of the dent and the car probably tom. I couldn't lower the price any more than $4600. They originally wanted 6K. There was another person willing to offer the same price but I was the first one to see it so she let me buy it. Thanks for all the help.

For that low of mileage it is a very good price. Some people buy a car and hate it but can't stand to sell it so it sits in the garage and does nothing. That is a practically brand new vehicle. If you plan on modding it, the number 1 thing affected (if they changed the oil through out the years and garaged it) is the suspension. It has been sitting there barely moved for some time so you may need to check the springs and shocks. OEM replacements won't be expensive and would benefit your situation in case the car has not moved for some time. Putting some miles on the car and changing the oil a bit more frequent the first few times would be good as well.

Awesome purchase, post some pictures soon!

Hey man...if you are in NOVA the NELOC is having a BBQ on Sunday, 9/28. Look in that section of the forum for time and location. It would be great to meet some more SC's in the area.
