tim,
That car has the exact same interior my car has, I like it alot. Of course, I have the stock radio (pretty sure they can be found). I think it would be quite a deal for anywhere from $6-7K, especially if it checks out mechanically and all. I've decided after seeing the pic that I won't get the Burlwood shifter, though, I like my black leather one better.
Yah, those shifter plates sure seem flimsey, my son spilled some soda on my shifter console last summer, and after a few days that sticky goo caused my shifter to get harder to move, eventually the shifter plate was what broke and caused that exact same gap that's in your picture. Bummer, I don't think they are available anymore. At least the gap is not there anytime you're in drive!
Good luck with that one!
