I've been watching the market for used units of this type, and it is definitely trending away from me, unfortunately. But I have a few aces in my corner, so to speak and I'm by no means underwater on the old unit.

It has a somewhat rare color combination ("Midnight Race Blue Metallic" exterior and gray upholstery), low miles for the age, I added a Borla "Cat Back" exhaust which contributes maybe 5 extra HP, gives a nice, deep throat to the sound but isn't obnoxiously loud.

I've had a $1000 detail done with a Ceramic Coating, so it beads water like a champ. I'll only ask exactly what it's worth.

LOL on being 6'9" ! I mean that in the nicest way, truly. I can imagine everything you come across is geared toward people somewhat shorter than you are! From hotel rooms to automobiles. The actor Richard Moll who played "Bull Shannon" on the 80's SitCom "Night Court" was 6'8" and was once quoted as saying the only car he could fit into was a 60's vintage Cadillac because they were the only ones he could find that had the headroom!
