Right now someone is very happy and someone is not so happy.

My 2 cents would be to lose the window tint and put stock WS6 wheels on it. Sweet ride and a good buy.

That was a good buy.

Yep, I had the same issue with the old 3M window tint on my old Monte Carlo. After about 10 years I could see it starting to change colors. It turned as purple as the tint on that Formula after parking it outside for about a year. As soon as I could get it in the garage, I couldn't peel that crap off fast enough.

What a beauty. Not clear what the mileage on the car is, but for $5500, and as nice as it looks, would it really matter if it was 200k?
