[QUOTE="Shawn819, post: 16604444, member: 52971"] I just finally found one close by me (Midwest) for a reasonable asking price. It needs a little TLC, but only has 50k miles on it. I spent about 4 months actively looking for one. I found a few things: [LIST=1] [*]Facebook groups and sellers are remarkably unreliable.
