Way to go donolar, $11k is one hell of a deal. Seriously I was ready to buy it if you backed out. It's only a 6 hr. drive home for me.

hey, drove all the way to chicago. met up with the guy then followed him to where the car was. and damn!!! absolutely beautiful! body near mint. only one dent above rear wheel, very minor. he just had it detailed. interor looked brand new. there is a very minor dirt spot on ceiling. 3 of the radio buttons are missing a very small amount of paint. but everything else is as clean as a brand new car! and on top of that i got an extra set of 4 wheels and snow tires with the air pressure sensors in them. I hear those sensers are 150.00 a peice. chicago got 8 inches of snow that morning so we drove it to the dealer and he asked them if they could store it there overnite and put my snow tires on in morning so i could drive home safely, so they rolled it into the showeroom and set it next to a brand new vet!! so they must have known this guy real well. but anyhow i got it home and the damn starter went out. but thats a small price to pay considering i only gave 11,000 for the car. oh and he said at 2:00 the same day while i was on my way to chicago someone else from missouri called and offered him 17,000.00 for it!! thank god he was a nice enough guy to turn that down because i woulda been **** outa luck. but ya, i love the car, still runs great. oh and the snow wheels and tires are for sale if anyone is interested? i try to get some pics up.

Wow I can't believe you got a V for $11k. Congrats!

Now get rid of that front plate bracket!

FYI the tire pressure sensors are about $42 each, and silver is only the fastest color if we're discussing skydiver's car. Don't let these guys kid you.

Watch out for black V's, they'll burn you every time.

yea, i was wondering how you guys were getting away with no front plates. we would get pulled over 10 ft from the driveway here in missouri. im guessing thats legal in some states.

yeah they are ****** about that in illinois too. and with all the tint that is on my car I fear I may be making a bad mistake when i take mine off

In my town its fine but go 20 mintes west and they will pull you over in a heartbeat. (or any smal town cop that is bored and on a powertrip will have a hay day)

lol 90 bills for a oil change. Change it your self, its less that $40, and this way you can even have a wix or K&N oil filter

And we all know black V's are the quickest.
