    *ZFFUA13A5F0055319 FYI Craigs List Maui not my car I'm acting as only a purveyor of information.
    Car is exactly as advertised . 67197 showing on the speedo. Body is straight. Owner claims to be 2ed owner. Paint is nice & supposed to be original. Near new tires. The shipping doc's show lots of minor dings etc. but car has been simi-detailed and shows well. Underneath the car is oily. Interior is typical of what you would expect for the milage with drivers seat showing most of the wear & tear. Carpets show their age but are not ratty. There is a receipt for a new water pump and belt. No other maintenance records or books or tools. Owner claims to have spent $10K on car in the last year. The Tranny shifts smoothly and with out any hesitation or binding. Engine runs RICH but Oil PSI is steady. I think it just needs to have the soot blown out :) Front end is a little loose, probably needs tie rod ends etc. ,and all the suspension bushings are old & dried out looking. The clutch engages at the very top of the pedal but does not slip once it hooks up. Braks stop car in a straight line. Windows are slow but work. Owner knows NOTHING about how the car works. Too small for me @ 6'5" & 280#'s! ;)
    Shipping to West coast about $1090 plus another $1,200 +/- to ship to east coast.
    Pretty much a what you see is what you get. :)

    Wow, I think the Magnum PI references here in PA are tiring. I can't even imagine what it would be like to own one of them in Hawaii!!!

    The shipping cost would be HUGE to the east coast.

    My car lived in Hawaii for a good portion of its life. The PO had left the old style inspection sticker (the kind visible in Magnum on the rear bumper) long after expiry and moving back to the west coast. So at least one person seemed to enjoy the references. ;)

    As for the car for sale, sounds like it'll be a headache for the next owner... would be interesting to hear the results of a PPI.

    I'm all for 308's appreciating dramatically in value, but I question whether this one isn't overpriced for its mileage, lack of documentation, and condition.

    This car has been on Maui for a little over a year. Before that it was on the east coast I think. ( carfax anyone) At any rate it costs about $2,500 to get a car to the east coast.
