Mike:

I am a manufacturer's rep in the stereo biz.  Nak is all but out of
business in the US market and used car stereos have to be one of the most
impossible things to sell in the business.  I really feel this
advertisement must be a misprint!  There's just no way that
car with its mileage even with that sound system is worth that kind of
money.  I might belive $3399.99 may be even as much as 4999.99 but
thats it.  At least in this area a '91 5 speed V8 with even that
particular used car stereo just will not command that kind of 
price!
Just my .02.
