My 16 year old sons first ride.Let him know what you think.Got it this last Saturday 1995 SSEi fully loaded every option avalable.Hell it'* just as nice as my 98 SLE,more stuff thats for sure.The white paint for 95 did'nt hold up to good we're going to need a paint job.The radiator has a crack on the top front left corner.Just happens my 98'* radiator cracked in the exact same place Saturday.Advance auto can get a 98SLE radiator for $164 but not a 95 SSEi radiator.Whats up with that?This SSEi is nice inside and out .All the buttons work except for the steering wheel radio controls and the crews control.Sun roof no leaks.tires good,nicer sound system than mine.120.000 miles,I'm the third owner .No rust no dents,tinted windows already.Check it out ,ONE hell of a nice first ride for a 16 year old.Hell I never even had a car with leather until I was 30 something ,O yea do you think $2800 was to much?

Sounds like me. I always have a better car than my parents. 
I'm 21 and my 60 year old parents don't care what they drive as long as it gets them from piont A to point B. I sold them my old slow, yet very luxurious car and bought me a much quicker car. Still very luxurious though.

There'* an article in Tech info to fix the steering wheel controls. I have learned that Advanced Auto Parts isn't good for anything but oil, filters, aditives, some tools, and altenators... The Cruise control....Just tell him to f around with the switch for a while....fixed mine..lol. These cars are a lot of fun....Slightly modified, with 201K miles on the original motor I can do this no problem:

(Probably shouldn't show the 16 yr old that vid lol)
The bodys on these cars are really well constructed....Mine has seen snowy salty roads every winter of it'* life and it'* still looking good even at 201k.
Check these 2 threads out to see my car at 201k:
http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...951&highlight=
http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...ic.php?t=32889
Just maintain it within the specs, and have fun with your new car. I got my car for free with a bad trans....so I dunno...Now a days I don't think $2800 is a bad price for 120k miles.
