He even inspected the car for me and found a small power steering leak which he cleaned and said I shouldnt have to worry about too much right now. Also found out the driver side shock has a vey small leak as well and he said I should not worry now either. he threw in the power steering flush at no cost with OEM fluids . gave me his business cards cause I told him there was another person with a SC interested..

oh yeah even diagnosed my air bag light for free.

the red interior already told us that it was a NM.......2002 with 50K miles...not bad at all. Go for it!!!!! the USA market only have the red interior for Special ed. defeinitely go for it if you like the red....I love the red but only in 2007 White pearl PE ed......red int looks so good on pearl white!!!

I wasn't able to get the 2007 PE as they goes for $35K....keep thinking that it will take hard-hit in depreciation.......got my 2004 PB for $20K, very happy.

See my shift kknob came from a black wood trim. Did the black wood come from the PB edition only? I have never read that black was an option on the regular production SC's.

Looks like a set of the original red mats are in the trunk....still in the plastic. The car came with two sets of the red mats.

To have one set still in the plastic is pretty amazing, too.

Some people would pay lots 'o money for those.

I would pay lots for a 2nd set of 09 Pebble Edition black floor mats. Even more for the luggage.

sad story

the dealer didn't open sunday, then I called Monday right away. the dealer told me someone called 15 minutes before me and put deposit thought the phone, not even go see the car yet.
my wife blamed me that I post the link here and someone drove her car away.

the deal not done yet, then I kept calling the dealer to check.
But, salesperson called back this morning-- the car officially SOLD

if you see someone post the NM edition #007 here, that's the one stole the toy away ..

I agree with your wife. If I saw that edition and you didn't buy it, I would of jumped on it if I didn't live 2500 miles away. Putting it on any forum is a form of letting everyone know its out there. I would use the forum search to learn as much as I could about it. If I did buy it I would have to figure a way to keep my wife from divorcing me. Wow-to have an SC where only 100 were made and was in that condition! While you're making up your mind-mine is made up. Does anyone else agree with me or am I just a low-life?

Sorry to hear that's how it worked out. Take your wife out to dinner tonight, tell her you won't let that happen ever again.
