Default Probably the first to see 3 95 SE SC'* in one day (w/pics)

Well, today, I guess, was a phenominal day. How often do you see 3 authentic 1995 SE SC'*? I saw the pristine white one I see every so often on my way home from work (looking fresh off the showroom floor as usual), a green one with 173,000 miles (it'* on Autotrader.com for $3,500), and also a black one with 106,000 miles for $4900/bo which I am really considering, unless a 1996/1997 SE SC shows up locally for under $5k.

Anyhow, I haven't seen the black one yet, but I'm going to look at it and get some pics. If it'* good enough I might just do a trade as it'* at a dealer 35 miles away.

Keep watching here as I hope to have pics and a rundown on the car by the end of the evening (would have pics of the GXP I looked at if my memory card hadn't needed to be formatted).

Here are the pics of the black 1995 SE SC as well as one pic of the green 1995 SE SC that I saw. I wish I had the camera for a pic of the white one (which was the nicest of these gems -hopefully I'll have the camera out and ready the next time I see it going by me on the freeway).

The black car was in below average condition for the year and the mileage. It had a small dent on the roof above the rear windshield, clearcoat bubbling above the center of the sunroof, dent on RF corner of hood, paint blemishes (spotty dullness, fish-eyes, and some orange peel) on hood, color gone from a 5"x6" patch of the rear carpet, SES light came on when I let it run while I looked under hood and wouldn't go off after a half dozen restarts, tranny-engine gasket looked fresher than the 4 month old gasket in my 1999 yet the seller insisted the tranny had never had any work or been removed/replaced, and while driving I noted delayed/sloppy down-shifts which could possibly be cured with a tune-up and some driving. Other than the gasket everything under the hood looked to be up to par and fairly clean (not a detail, just kept clean).

And finally the pics.











The Green 1995 SE SC, I didn't drive, but it ran just as well as the black/gold, 106k car, was in better shape outside, and was optioned pretty much the same except no sunroof.

Think again -these puppies had the dual outlet muffler too and I was surprised at how loud they were. Sounded damned good, definitely louder and meaner than my parents Park Avenue Ultra'*, my sister'* 1995 Riviera or my 99 SSEi when it had the stock exhaust (kinda surprising as they are probably the identical exhausts -95 and 99 that is, just the SSEi has different tips).

They don't have an intake. Might change soon anyways... But i'll keep the N10 for sure.

and it'* got the GOLD GHETTO RIMS !!!!

Thats err.. for good luck.. Pmom would be part of the hood yo..




P.*. always needed an excuse to use the dancing emoticon. If you're lucky.. your insurance will give you an insurance quote as an SE and not SSEI cause of the */C. Tamara got lucky.. her SSEI insurance cost less then an SLE insurance.. go figure..

:? Just wait until something happens and they will only give her SLE value. It might be their problem, but they'll sure give Tamara heck for it.
Better keep fingers crossed so nothing happens.
