This is how our 2005 Tiburon GT looked when we bought it from Serafini Nissan Volvo on 12/30/08.

The Tiburon came with 51,400 miles on it and it was used. The car caught our eye and had to come back and check it out. We found the car to be very clean, well taken care of and drove like a dream. We both test drove the car and we were like DAMN!, this car is so sweet and it drives as good as it looks. We traded in Kathie's 1998 Ford Escort sedan w / 108,000 miles on it for the Tiburon.
