my opinion, i would continue to search, there was a member selling a SE for $2000 in N.C. not too long ago. i am sure there will be more coming your way. i paid less than that for my SE and i picked mine up in VA. i live in PA and know if your willing to drive you can find one. i sold a member a clean 82 GS for $1200 and another member on here that i am friends with sold an 85 GS with spoiler that was also very clean for like $1200. keep looking you ll find one, just my opinion.
