tentative anyone free friday/saturday for road trip?

[HAULN-SS]

random? Lol, this will be my 4th GM RWD V8..that's not random! The subaru was random

[JustinG]

i love those cars, so pimpin. Is this gonna replace the Legacy? or you keeping both?

[HAULN-SS]

a replacement if I get it.

I'm thinking I might have to wait until I sell the subaru to get it actually though. This is a really good deal - as I've been shopping around a bit...but at an inconvenient time

[D_Eclipse9916]

so if we go, we can drive the cts-v? lol...

DJ has a point, I'd say thats fair compensation

[HAULN-SS]

Haha...well, I'd probably let ya tool it around the block..however it has brand new tires on it, so no lighting them up...yet anyway. Also, apparently the car is sitting at a ferrari dealership

mmm...test drives (i can dream!)

[HAULN-SS]

This place is pretty legit. I am waiting on the owner to call me back. He's definately a deal-maker kind of guy. Told me they would give me a ride to/from the airport - so I guess if I get it, I'll just fly up. I dont think he'd let me test a ferrari while i was there, but he might let me sit in it anyway, haha.

Quick specs by the way:
2004 with 24,xxx miles
Brand new tires
Black with tan leather/suede interior
dvd/nav/bose/xm/onstar
Power Sunroof(the only option on these cars I think?)
LS6 400HP/torque (although not as flat of a torque curve as the LS2s...oh well)
14" brembos
6 spd tremec

holy shit.


good work, I love that car

[JustinG]

from the ebay auction......was this car rearended??? or is GMs paint just that shitty?? Looks like some serious orange peel

[.RJ]

All factory paint jobs have some orange peel in them

[HAULN-SS]

thats the only hangup I have right now too - thats why its not a done deal yet. The owner of the dealership is going to go look at it for me, and take more pictures. He told me if I come up there and see it in person and it looks shitty - no obligation to buy or anything

edit: it has a clean carfax, and he said he had no knowledge of it being repaired - so thats why he's going to go check it out

[Feersty]

Are you currently winning the auction Derek?

Would be very nice to see it in MM.

[Maengelito]

not to hijack the thread, but anyone driving down to greensboro nc this weekend?

Next weekend, why?

[HAULN-SS]

It's not an auction, it's a buy-it-now. I have the current highest offer on it - and have been in contact with the dealer - we're in agreement on price. I am just waiting to see waht the verdict is about the paint there. Then I just have to make the plunge. I would love to get my subaru sold, but I'm not sure if they'll hold it til I can get that taken care of.

thats EXTRA SHITTY.. i doubt that would fly from the factory.. i bet it was wrecked

[HAULN-SS]

Well, even if it is...the search continues. I've pretty much determined I'm going to get one of these for less than 28k...good deals pop up every once in a while, and I'm in no real hurry.

[HAULN-SS]

Well, they checked it out and such, and apparently it is factory orange peel. I told them I was going to pass on it unless they came down significantly more. I had a good deal going, significantly less than the ebay auctions buy it now price, so feel free to go haggle with them if you're feeling spendy on an iffy car!
