I'm thinking about buying a ti. Ask all your questions about the possible purchase of a ti. Keep in mind, we are biased.

Soon to be even more rare, sad to report that the 96 California I sold last summer is very close to death. Sold it to a complete douche nozzle.

Here's one in Sanford, but it's auto. I hope you're ok with it.

I dont mind automatics and I'm actually going to send them an email. Maybe they'll take 3500 for it. If I offer cash on the spot. We'll see, otherwise I'm going to be grabbing one for 2600 that doesnt even have a sunroof. Anyway, thanks for the find, I really appreciate it!

To be honest if I bought a ti again, and Ive thought about it at length a number of times, the only way Id go back would be if I could find a car without a sunroof. Good luck on the hunt though.

No problem man, anytime. Lately I have been noticing a decline in people selling their Ti's in Florida. I would sell mine when I have another car available, but since I love this car, I can't put it to waste. Plus this is my first car with some sort of sunroof.

I was actually just up in the area today. The family took me to Seaworld for my birthday, more for them than me. Got rained out and just made it back home. I was hoping I could sneak over and look at it, but didnt have a chance, I'll just head back up there in a couple weeks. Still waiting to hear back on that one though. Thanks again for the find!

Mike

Oh man did you ever ride the Manta before it started raining? Yeah the rain yesterday was crazy as hell. Almost made it to work while some asshole in a black Mercedes was driving like a nut while in the rain, nice going genius. :/ Hope you hear back from the guy who is selling it, that is if he hasn't sold it already and probably forgot to delete the post.

Hah, yeah, I was one car away and they shut it down for like 45 minutes, I was pissed. But I finally got to ride it. I know what you mean! Drove the two hour trip home and people were flying by doing like a hundred or so. Well, seeing as how I sent him the email Friday evening, and its a holiday weekend, I probably wont get a reply until Tuesday. And if he's sold it then I'll just go ahead and buy the other one I'm looking at.

Here are some more to look at.
I'm actually planning with my girlfriend to see if she can come down to orlando one day with some friends and we can all go to the parks to have a good time. It's good that Sea World added another roller coaster. God knows that it needed another one.

Default Just how much do you think a 1996 Aqua metallic ti with ///M options+Cali worth?

Zero rust all stock aside from CAI and 17" bsa wheels. No leather Solid Black interior. ACS+T ....Automatic. Non leaking Cali roof and 157,000 miles. Considering selling and can't find any to compare it to.

There is no way to tell until the car is in front of you or detailed current pictures and full history is presented. There can range from 1000-up.
