Yeah, the Cressidas were the Lexuses before there were Lexuses.

Just make sure you check all the compartments for abandoned body parts, too.

Update: the owner wasn't who we thought it was. I think the last manager of this complex was really disorganized because spot #30 doesn't belong who the person listed in the book. I knocked on some random stranger's door and offered to buy his blue Subaru and he just gave me a blank stare. My friend looked up the VIN on this Subaru search engine thing and it gave me the name of the original owner, but she wasn't coming up in any searches, so I'm not sure where to take it from here. Does anyone have CarFax? Does CarFax even list the current owner of the car?

Thanks a lot, Aln. The car has over 200k miles, but it's a SPI EA82, and those are tough little engines, so I doubt there's anything seriously wrong with it. It failed smog once in '98, but it passed shortly after, and it passed again in '01 which was its last check. Hmm...
