I agree 100% but you can sell a car without having the title transferred into your name. They sign the title. You don't. Then the new buyer signs it! I don't agree with it at all. But turns out I was right and he has been doing it!

Drives really nice, very quick, no squeaks or weird little **** like everything else has had. I am so glad I got it because it is freezing outside. The interior is dirty as **** though, I am going to pull the seats and console out this weekend and shampoo it.
I kept having issues putting it into second and I figured out that's what the skip shift does, it's friggen weird, like what is the point in that?

I am getting the rear end of the car painted next week also.

What the hell happen to the rear end?

And show us some interior pics before you clean it.

Skip shift eliminator makes it where you can go over x rpm and it doesn't make you shift it to 3 or 4th.. Having it work is supposed to save you gas.

He backed into something, can't remember what.

It's actually not that bad, it looks brand new under the floor mats. The seats need a good scrub also.

Hope you can bring the car back to life, they are such great looking cars.

Dont use any soap based products like resolve. All that does is **** up your carpet.the best thing to do is steam clean with just water.

Cool yeah it's not to bad.. How much does it normally cost to fix something like that on the wing?


As for the inside of the car slap yourself for me... it looks like **** in your car with all the junk in it.

Lol none of that stuff is mine, just crap he had in there when I took pics. I can't stand a dirty interior, it's not too big of a deal if the body is dirty but I will always keep the interior spotless no matter what. For me to fix the wing and bumper, about $200.


And he was a cool dude but he definitely didn't keep it clean. It hurt seeing the car in this condition.

Can't you rent a steam cleaner at Lowe's?

saddle soap should do wonders on those seats. make sure to moisturize them afterwards. just a little bit of loving would go a long ways with that car

Yup, sand it down, lay some glass and sand it smooth. I'm not sure if there is really any other way to do it.

the vinyls for our cars are expensive as hell... that interior looks like he hasn't cleaned it since 02, lol... hows the dash and radio and stuff? like it is fucked up or cracked? not too bad of a buy but how you afford all these cars is beyond me... oh and there is a place called LMC that we send all of our wheels to get fixed/welded/refinished, they do bad *** work and their price is about the same as the others, for that one wheel that is bent on the outside you will have to pay to get the bend fixed and then for the wheel to get refinished also, so keep that in mind.

Everything is nice, only issue is a little wear on the drivers seat. No cracks on the dash and the stereo is awesome.

I sold the truck and made a few grand off it so I bought this. So glad because there was ice on it this morning, I would have been SOL in the 70.

Got everything out, sucker is naaaasty, about to start steam cleaning it. Really wasn't necessary pulling out the carpet but I had time to kill and I might as well do it right.

Also, title transfer was $400, I should have just took my chances for a few weeks(registration out) because that's lot of profit money gone.. I forgot how expensive it was.

Thought about that but I didn't want to wait for it to dry. My mom ran the shampoo vacuum thing over it and it's a night/day difference. Even put some stuff on the seats and the centers are actually silver now..

Y'all should have seen the water that came out of the vac.. Was all green and brown with white foam on top.
