My "new" car

[dretceterini]

We only had one car for both my wife and myself, so I started shopping. I am awaiting the Luzzago auction in Brescia next week to see if I have won the 1955 Giulietta Sprint normale column shift car, S/N oo159, but needed something in the meantime.

I bought the following:
2001 Hyundai Accent 4 door GL berlina
white
almost mint condition
5-speed
air
roll up windows
AM/FM casette
car weight 2400 pounds
horsepower 105
mileage 74,000
never hit or damaged, other than a few minor scratches
It drives kind of like a 105 Giulia berlina, except that it is front wheel drive...it's actually closer to driving a Fiat 128 berlina with the bigger motor, but those are now almost impossible to find; especially in a place like SLC, Utah....

I paid $1000 UNDER wholesale Kelly Blue Book, or $3500, all taxes and license and documentation fees included!!

I found a 2000 Audi TT Quatro in red in MINT condition, with 60,000 miles, for $17,000 out the door, but didn't want to spend that much until I know the results of the Luzzago Auction.

Congrats on the purchase, Stu! That is a very practical little car.

What condition is the Sprint coupe in? With numbers this low, would there be a chance that this could be one of the cars made on the wood bucks before the car got into serious production?
I wanted to bid on the 6c2500 but only in my dreams. Makes me wish I still had my 6c2500SS Touring.
