I don't think it's restored but it runs and drives. He told me that the body was in good shape as far as he could see. Here's the story: We have a weekly auction that we go to just to see if what might show up there. Normally it's held on Tues. and Sat., but because of the holiday they had one today. My original intent was to pick up a 2 seater Jag I saw earlier in the week. Well, work reared it's ugly head and I couldn.t make it. My brother went anyway. He calls me on the phone to say very little people showed up and cars were going cheap.

Just as he says that he tells me there's a 2002 there. But then he says " What's a Tii?" As he is talking to me they are passing the car as a no bid. I tell him get the ---- off the phone and buy the car! I got it for 200.00 plus 80.00 buyer's fee!

haha, not bad, congrats and a good pick!

^^^ Wow! Sweet deal!

**2002Tii** · 07-06-2006, 12:22 AM

Yeah, I got real lucky with this one. I've seen about five or six 2002's over there, all rusted out and not running go for 1100-1200 bux when the crowd was there. I guess everybody was still sleep from partying and forgot it was today! But I'm not mad at all!

**celsdogg** · 07-06-2006, 08:46 AM

omfg. $280? i could forgive it if it needed some work for that price. thats excellent.

**Hoppy** · 07-06-2006, 08:59 AM

congrats i love 2002's. hope that old girl gets to see some good driving to come

Congrats on the car they are one of those classics I would love to get someday.

Well guys I got the car home today and all I have to say is....my brother is CRAZY! It was nothing like I expected, Lots of surface rust, door panels missing, just not the way he described it to me. But on a good note, the motor fires right up and runs good, tranny shifts good, but I believe the front calipers are sticking. Now he has the time to put into a project like that, I don't. So all in all, not a keeper for me. Going to the Classified Section with pics for just what I paid for it! MD guys pm me, it's gotta go!
