    yea cheers for your unwelcome criticism over the price of the car...this is a thread about it and also mentioned its for sale no harm in that. ...s2 calais are quite uncommon especially in this condition. cheers.

    Um no no there not. You can pick up a mint VS SS which is a hell of a lot more desirable then your Calais.

    Looks like a tidy calais, love the paint on it and looks clean. I would also say that it could be difficult to find a buyer at 7k, but best of luck with the sale nonetheless.

    Always liked these and actually prefer the stock wheels over the aftermarket ones you've got.

    But still smile.gif

    huh? no leather and most have wind up windows, no climate control or cruise control...i can see why they would be more desireable LOL
