that doesnt sound much for a car with that provenance and low mileage.
Lets hope we see it back on here soon

I know, i paid more for LEX.
Maybe painted D's are just not as attractive as their unpainted counterparts. I know i wouldn't want a painted one.
Having an unpainted car is extra special as no other car is paintless (generally speaking of course, before people start correcting me lol!)
Or maybe i just paid over the odds for LEX. :lol:
