Title: what year did they stop the elite
Post by: Jay w on 02 December 2006, 00:10:00

as per the title.

Been thinking about chaning the moggy next year, by that time it will have about 150,000 miles on it.

I want another miggy elite, prefer a 2.6, would have to have leather, but i have not seen one later than about 2001.

were there any that were later?
