At that price walk away. You could easily drop at least another $5k into that car to make it right. Imagine what $18k could buy you..

As above wayyyy overpriced its worth 8k tops Also look at the tags It clearly states it's a Everglade calais turbo with sandalwood trim and the tag on the right had been moved for a mod plate if memory serves me right. So pretty much the id plate is as rare are rocking horse sh1t but don't think it belongs to that car. Not trying to ruin a sale, just going through my train of thought as to why I wouldn't buy it as when it originally came up a few months back on ebay I was interested
