Default Too good to be true?

This is right by my house, and I cannot deny it's piqued my primal automotive desires...

Yeah, I mean, usually you can wait around and a deal like that might pop up on ebay, or LS1tech but in another state usually.

This good and ten miles from my house? I can see the car easily and conveniently, I can take a really good look at it with a fine-toothed comb, etc. This is not that common at all...

Of course, I'm sure there'll be something I find wrong with it unless I get REALLY lucky.

Yo Erik.

Cool... Can't wait to go see you guys.

Yeah, LOL at dumb *** dealers... It's a plain jane TRANS AM, but they title it "Trans Am Formula..." Of course, I could see how they'd get the hits for two different searches... Maybe not so dumb after all!

They probably do that because that's what CarFax labels it as. The Trans am VIN's I've looked up all say Trans Am / Formula. Same with the base model Camaros. Most of those Pull up as Camaro / RS.

Ever been to Miami auto dealers?

The fact that they did not clean it is not suspect,

What the splatter actually is IS.

I will take a good look at that... Any guesses on what it is?

Thats not really a "deal". A 99 with 92k miles for $7500?

There are deals to be had, just have to look around.
