I drove this car. It's VERY nice. It's been on Craigs for several months, and they can not unload it. The price is VERY negotiable. I offered a lowball OTD in cash, and he didn't take it. The only reason I passed was the TTL costs. I prefer private party cars (hate to pay extra to Sacramento!).

I don't get it. The ad says navigation, the nav drive unit is in the trunk, but where is the screen?
Hold it, that little thing is the nav screen? You're joking, right?

The price is nice, but what about service records?

That is a nice looking car ! It's funny it doesn't have the fluted grille surround and boot plinth, but everything else looks like a VDP. I've never seen a power glass sunroof or a power rear window sunshade. Sounds nice.

unfortunately its no joke....that little screen is the nav.

this specific kind of system is specifically for voice based turn by turn directions....no maps to display, just street names. its really stupid.

Chrysler did the same thing with their crossfire, Ferrari with their 430

Has anyone else, besides me, noticed that some street intersections don't have any signs to label the cross street?

Or if there are signs, at night the signs are not illuminated?

Can you tell I rely more on the graphic information of my GPSes, rather than what is being said?
