Intercity Lines finally had room and delivered my new CE this weekend. It took a few weeks, but they were fantastic. Enclosed hauler, they covered it inside the hauler and the driver (very clean and professional) was very careful. Just a note to those who do out of state or eBay purchases.
On to the car! It's a '98 Collector's Edition. Every option except the block heater (the cargo net was added at the dealer.) Just under 17,000 miles. No dings or scratches. It's in pristine condition - it clearly never seen a drop of rain.
It was a little more than I'd like to have spent, but the Mark has always meant a lot to me. I've searched high and low and have yet to see another CE in recent years that is in such good condition (by my OCD standards) and with truly low mileage with exception to the one that was listed for $35,500 with 200 miles.
Here's some pics that the previous owner took: http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=jipyzdm.7s0ldtwq&x=0&y=xqadfv - Some of you may have seen it for sale last year. The first thing I did (it didn't really need it, but it's just something I have to do...) is washed, clayed, used Zaino AIO, then two coats of Z5, one coat of Z2 topped with Clear Seal. It looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. If my wife ever lets me use the camera again, I'll snap some updated shots. The depth and shine is incredible.
Still suffering from sticker shock, but very pleased overall. Enjoy.
