I purchased this vehicle in 06. It was red then with a huge hole in the white convertible top, ripped up seats, and a bent axle. The first night though I drove it home an hour and half away and boy did it run. Over the next two years I fixed the axle, put a new convertible top, new leather interior, replaced the rear end, put 20 inch cobra r's, and finished it with a new glossy black paint job all within a tight budget (just ask the wife and two kids). Through all this time it has never once broken down on me or over heated.
