i love the way saleens, roushes, even cobras look and i cant blame people for making their gt's look like one of the above, but it pisses me off when they say that it is real, maybe im overeacting

<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=5>Yeah, just call Liz at Saleen, you can get the direct number from the www.saleen.com I just purchased an 01 silver Saleen S281 SC. I called Liz, and she is sending me a copy of the original window sticker, an authenticating letter, and a new Saleen owner's manuel. </FONT></P>


<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=5>She told me in the year my car was made, there were only 910 of them made, 62 that were in my color scheme and body style, and mine was the only one of its kind that had all the options. So needless to say, i was stoked. The dealership I bought it from had no idea....lol.</FONT></P>

01Saleen, can i ask what you paid? How many miles?

01SaleenSC

<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=5>I paid 35K, out the door after tax title and license. I probably paid more than what its worth, but I had a trade in too. An 01 Grand Am. I owed 14,400 on the GrandAm, and the trade in value on it was 8,500. So I think I did okay, they paid off my loan on the Grand Am.</FONT></P>


<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=5>It had 35k miles on it. But its in great shape. Plus I called Liz, and like I said its the only one ever made in its color combo. and up grades.</FONT></P>


<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=5>So I think I made out pretty good. What do you think?</FONT></P>

01SaleenSC, what Saleen options did it come with?

01SaleenSC

<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=5>Well, I just ordered the original window sticker from Saleen,but it is fully loaded. Came with the supercharger, and the upgraded wheels and tires: 265/35ZR18's up front, and 295/35ZR18's in the rear.</FONT>

01Saleen, you did ok, but the miles are the weakest point of the deal, I think. 35k miles is high-ish for a 01. How close to perfect is the car? Does it have flaws? Also, there should probably be some warranty left on the 3 year bumper-to bumper. Find out about that, 'cause if there's a few months left, fix anything needing fixing. leaky taillight covers, radio issues, etc. Oh, and are the wheels chrome or polished aluminum?

<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=5>I agree, 35k is alot. Actually I just went over 36k this weekend. I had it in the dealership the other day. They did a full inspection on it. The guy who did it, is part of a cobra club, and works on stangs alot. He said it was in great shape. The car is in great shape overall. The only defects I noticed were the rock chips on the front bumper. The seats look like they been sat in too. but they do lack cracks, which is good. Everything else looks great.</FONT></P>


<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=5>Its in the dealership too, to have the throttle cable replaced. (covered under warranty). the wires in the cable started to come loose, and it was causing the throttle to stick...not good. lol.</FONT></P>

01SaleenSC

<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=5>and.....the wheels are chrome.</FONT></P>
