Just wanted to say congratulations on buying the v-max.
mine is a 2000 dark carbon fiber also and I too, got mine for $5000.00 and it only had 15,000 miles on it
but I bought from a private seller. He wanted 300 more but when I pulled that envelope out of my pocket and laid out $5,000.00 cash on the table he was quick to accept it.
Just make sure to get used to it`s accelleration and braking before doing any modifications. In the mean time explore modification options and possibilities `cause it`s alot o` fun.:eusa_dance:
