    A few more photos wouldn't hurt, but it looks pretty good for $2500, especially if that mileage is correct, and it would appear to be based on good condition of the interior.

    Wow, this Poncho looks sweet and a realistic price, no less. I don't know where in New Jersey he is, but if anyone wants me to check it out and it's relatively close, let me know.

    It does look very nice and reasonably priced according to the couple of pictures.

    Don't know about this one...

    I believe it's been painted, and probably not a factory color. The trim surrounding the Di-Noc has been painted the body color - not 'factory'. This was probably a cheap 'Maaco'-type job.

    I think KK is right. Check out the door jam. The paint is definitely not original.

    Wow! Didn't even notice. I still think it looks nice but would definitely want to see it. Nothing wrong with a Macco paint job but would like to see how well it was prepped before, up close and in person.

    Good eyeballsmanship guys. I wondered about green for the year, and missed all that was pointed out. Maybe it was a macco job, macco all ways had the colour of the week special..... go around and buy every drop of old paint from real shops and in this case "green", dump the mix in a barrel, stir well and.... bata boom bata bing a macco colour of the week special!:rofl2:

    Didn't mean to disparage Maaco. I've seen some decent jobs they've done. Should have said 'Earl Scheib'.........:rofl:

    No, I didn't take it that way but I know of some people that brought their car there for a scuff and shoot, that's what they got, no prep what so ever and wouldn't expect at their price but then I met a guy that had a body man friend prep his car then sent it for a scuff and shoot (windows out, all trim removed) and it came out really nice.
    Paint jobs are like most things we learn as we get older or venture into the business world...you get what you pay for. :D
