Andrew told me he will swing there by tomorrow to see the car first.
Thank you.
Hope it is good as the seller has described. Otherwise, I feel bad because I know my husband would very surprise if he sees it in the garage.
I also have a surprise for his coming Christmas....wish he could do the same for me....no...he wont...man just like that lol

I have looked at a few cars up in Tampa. I may be able to help as well. Which car are you looking at. You can PM me if you want as well. I have done some PPI's on a few cars up there.
Really amazing on what you are doing for your Husband - I probably speak for most on the board - really cool!
Good luck here!

Okay. Bottom line... I wouldn't buy the car.
This is obviously subjective, but the yellow exterior with the wood and beige interior looks really weird.
On to the more important stuff.
On a 1-10 cosmetically, I give the car a 6.5
It's in fairly rough shape. The wheels are curbed. The car has a lot of scratches and chips/pits. The wood is de-laminating on some of the interior pieces. The aftermarket nav radio won't fold back into the head unit and quite honestly looks a little ghetto. The steering wheel had these little pink dots on it in one spot. The plastic step in point is scratched pretty heavily from someone dragging their feet across it. The right rear fender has a long scratch in the paint. The black exterior pieces are really faded. The front lip has seem more than a few driveways. It looks like a car someone used as a daily driver and didn't really care where or how they parked it.
On the plus side, it's got low mileage (around 25K). It also has some sort of aftermarket muffler and a performance air filter. I'm guessing probably an ECU tune too, but can't confirm that.
For $43K, it's not a bad car. I guess it boils down to how perfect an example you're looking for. I'm kind of picky though and some of these things might not bother your husband. I would rather spend $50K and get a cleaner one from a private party with receipts. The dealer got the car from another dealer and doesn't know anything about the car (mods/repairs) or the previous owner.

I am very picky person too!
Could not believe that he lied to me the car was in perfect condition without any scratches, dings, nor dents, neither after market excepted the navigation and wood dash for matching steering wheel.
Will inform him that I wont buy the car.
Without you and people here, I may ending up with lot of frustrations and money.
Once again, sincerely appreciated to Andrew and all for your contributions!
