This car is one of 400 made for North America. It had been my dream car for years. I finally made the decision to buy one and went through 3 in one day. I bought one with 68k on Ebay and it wound up selling 5 mins before I had called and my deposit had been refunded. But in the end I wound up with this one. 18.800miles and an amazing price. I have some modifications plans but I will not go overboard since I have a great foundation to start with.
You can see my car in the "Obsession" section of the July 2006 European Car Magazine.
