       Another quick story:

       There was a  burgundy  '91 V8 5sp. at the Infiniti dealership 
exactly 1 year ago that I test drove for a good 45 minutes to an hour  
*without* the salesman! Car was in beautiful shape, 54K mi. Only 
problems that I found: UFO's were warped-slight steering wheel shake 
under hard braking, climate control only blew cool air even though it 
indicated Hi or 86 degrees. That's it! Granted the rotors needed 
replacement and cost serious$$, don't know what was up with the 
climate control. This car pulls like a freight train off the line 
with a few revs! Asking price was $21,500. I told him I'd think about 
it. (I just wanted to drive a V8 5sp.)  The car had been on the lot 
for 4 months already. Kept my eye on it for another 3 months when I 
noticed it was finally gone. Went in to ask what it sold for.
 GULP- $16,000 The guy made them an offer and they took it a week 
later. So bottom line-I probably would have been serious if I'd known 
that they were going to let it go for so cheap. Damn! 

          I think Kents' is priced a little high but then again those 
cars look mean in black! How bad you want it? As I found out, doesn't 
hurt to make an offer.  HTH

      P.S. Any lister out there that bought this particular car in 
Colo. Spgs. from the Infiniti Dealer?
