2002 Diamante LX fully loaded, runs good and silent, 174,000 miles, for $1800. I'll have it Tuesday, I spent only a little time with it today.

Nice pick up man! It looks like it is a clean car and well taking care of.

Thanks galantlvr, I got it at auction, I'm mad someone pushed the price up we coulda had it for $1500. In its condition its worth $3800, and I couldn't find a running one for less than $2600 on CL. The engine and trans are guaranteed by the auction, it felt fine the quick little ride I took. Really smooth and quiet. The bumper cover has a crack, but it looks like debris-on-the-road kind of damage, not accident damage. I'm happy, can you tell from me rambling on?

one of my hid ballast died so i just got a replacement set of MAXX HID 6k kit. they seem good, they make a sound but after a few seconds it goes away. also found out that previous owner installed the bulbs wrong, just being held on place by the metal spring thing, now i know why there was a weird light pattern on the road lol

Do what I did for my 8G for that bumper crack:

Looks good for the mileage. I've always seen Diamantes for sale on CL with high miles though.

Yeah it's hard to find a low mileage D, but for the money it was worth it to us. The body is real clean except the front bumper, I may have to "steal" the band-aid idea lol.
