That said, I'd offer 14 even. You can buy a reliable 68 for around 10K but the extras both on and includedd on this one makes it a very nice deal. Have a PPI done and if all checks out make the offer.

Two of the 1993 F8 Midnight blue M030 cars went to Canada. Both cars have sport seats. The car where the last 3 digits of the VIN are 323 HAS limited slip and a black and light gray partial leather interior. The car where the last 3 digits of the VIN are 393 has the classic gray and light gray partial leather interior and a painted rear spoiler. It did NOT come from the factory with limited slip. I'm not sure which car this, looks like 393, but it is one of the two. Good luck.
Wow Jeff - you da man! Last 3 digits are 393 and it does come with the painted rear spoiler. The seller indicated that it does have a LSD so it's interesting to hear that it didn't come from the factory like that. Is there any way I can figure out if it has a limited slip (short of dumping the clutch at 5000 rpms!).
Do you have any other info on this car.
Thanks!

the hood and bumper cover have a wrap on them
Huh, really? Looks like a respray in the pic. Why would someone wrap the hood, and bumper, but not the fender fronts?

Yes - it's a 3M matte black wrap that was put on there - I'm assuming it's to help with rock chips, otherwise I'm not sure what the deal is with that. I think since the blue is so dark, it blends in - idk - I'll know better how it looks once I see it in person - it's not a deal breaker, but I'd probably prefer it without it.

Ahhh, ok. Its a matte wrap. Makes sense now. Yeah, I dont think Id like the matte look. Kinda defeats the purpose of such a beautiful finish.
