I believe the car was on ebay but one of my Viper buddies sourced the car for me. The car was located in New Jersey so it wasn't a big hike for me to get it.

Maintenance isn't too bad, I do all my own so I'm not worried about the dealer premium. I bought a factory service manual so all the reference material I'll ever need is in hand.

Insurance on the car runs me a little under $700 a year which is a tad higher than what I pay for my Z. I just turned 29 (car was a b-day present to myself LOL!) and have a good driving record and great credit. The one thing that makes these cars hard to attain is that most banks will not finance a car this old. If they do then chances are they won't give you anywhere near the full cost of the car.
