I think you may have just bought one of the best 6's on the scene. It be rude to put too many miles on her in my opinion, thats whats gonna give you a decent resale value when you come to sell. In fact, dont sell it.......ever, dont drive it and keep it locked up in a sealed room. lol. Only joking, enjoy it and keep us posted on how its going.
