I don't know - I kinda think you guys are missing one (or maybe two) simple
little thing here. The first one being that the ad says "anything needing
replacement has been replaced." I suppose the only way to know for sure
whether that means things like the fuel lines and all those little failure
parts have been gone through, is to ask the seller. But it seems to me that
*IF* indeed all of those things have been as implied by aforementioned line
from the ad, it *COULD* well be worth the $11+k. Of course, that doesn't
mean it'll actually sell for that. But possibly, that price isn't all that
far-fetched.
