Bought it from a Dentist who was the 2nd owner since the car had 2k miles. Original owner return the car to a dealer with 2k miles and said it was a lemon. Car was later resold for $43k to this Dentist.

90k miles later Selling price was 6k. After BSing for an hour I found out that Doc was both russian and jewish and since all jews stick together we agreed on 5k price.
Only problem with the car is that one of the key remotes wont disarm the car and there is a few dings/swirls around.

Other then that everything on the car works. Interior is spotless, Leather is good.

I have records going back to 2000 showing everything that was fixed on the car. Air suspension was replaced 2 years ago

Bring on the snow!








I lingered around the forum for a while and finally registered when it was time to buy.
This would be my Daily driver, 06 GTO would be stored for the winter


PS
I am going to take out my orbital buffer this weekend and make you guys proud

Nice! What year is it and it looks to be a 4.0. Is that right? FYI, your mileage is getting close to the time when you need to replace the gaskets on the top of the engine (100K). I remember this being pretty important.

Looks nice. I am sure you will enjoy it. I like those cupholders. Are those a Rover part?

Not sure ....my head cracked right around 100K so there were signs mine was bad but the Rover shop I was going to said it was a common service to replace all of the gaskets on the upper half of the engine at 100K miles ...I've heard it from several Rover owners. Guys on this forum can chime in about it. You may even be able to do this yourself.

looks like an oem part, just kind of snaps in to that empty ridicules hole.


Can anyone recommend good online stores for aftermarket accessories/suspension/engine upgrades?
