KitCloudkicker Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Wow. That is one nicely kept Saffron. If I didn't have my laser, I'd jump on that right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_Dub Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm in Portland and would be happy to take a look at the car over the weekend for anyone seriously interested. Mike, I am also interested to hear more about the transmission rebuild. This ad is peculiar, not enough detail to be a full-blown enthusiast who owns te car, but from the few pictures the car does appear to be honest and clean. I may just have to go look at this thing.

goldponcho Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I noticed it Saturday, but failed to see mileage listed on the F/S signs. I have to agree with Brandon, a very clean and well preserved Saffron! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with Brandon, a very clean and well preserved Saffron! Was this car at the Ipd Garage Sale? I was kind of stuck inside most of the day, didn't notice it. Anyway, I hope this goes to the right person. If I didn't just pick up my '04 SR I would be seriously interested. I guess I'll have to settle for the Saffron I already own.

B_Dub Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Well, my friend Josh came down from Seattle and bought the Saffron today. This car was as advertised- just immaculate inside and out. I got an opportunity to drive it, and this is the quietest, tightest P80 car I've ever driven, period. It did have some rust underneath, but really nothing terrible and certainly less than what I was suspecting from an Illinois car. I don't think it saw many winters. The guy who sold it to my friend clearly bought this car at auction, replaced the transmission and flipped it. He didn't budge on the price but I probably wouldn't have, either. Guy claimed he had two site-unseen offers at full asking price, one from Jersey and one from Florida. Not sure if he was embellishing this, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was being truthful.Anyway, the car went to a good enthusiast home and better yet, I'll get to see it regularly! I can't believe someone neg'd my original post!?$@$&. I thought I'd share an extremely rare car with some fellow enthusiasts. I do apologize if this ruffled someone's feathers.Here are some crappy iPhone pics I snapped: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
