 You're tellin' me. I hate Medford because I  Literally drove for over an hour on the Expressway to Medford for this mofo.

Guy didn't understand the Nassau County area code lol. After oppsing the the opps out of the oppsway... Glad this is still there.

Can't wait for this.

I made that trip everyday for 17 years, the LIE isnt as bad as 112 at rush hour though.

Congrats on the new ride Mike. Enjoy the V8. I'm sooo  jealous!

ok details.. mileage, cost? i knew when i was looking for while ive seen them out there but always had to drive ways to get there and last thing u wanna do is drive few hrs or even a hour just to not be happy when u see up close what u couldnt see in pics.. like mine pics look sweet then get there and see bunch "rub" marks or "scratches" on her luckly i said buff her first then we will talk lol and luckly 98% came out..

Nice Mike! Hope to see it on Saturday.

wow.. well to me i just would hate to drive far then look at car and go .. got scratch here or interrior in bad shape or something that wasnt mentioned in the ad.. only reason i wanted this one i got now cause i wanted this color back in 07 but was week to late on ordering one (closed production end june 07) and this had very good low mileage not low like mine.. not even 30k on mine and this had 40k and was yr older so looking at like 8k per yr on this one ..but then got some issues to fix door rubbing in corner on passenger side , need new headlight asamble on driver side due to condensation, somehow had bunch water in spare tire hold, need a amp since looks like the person before took factory out and wired their own then took theirs with them leaving me danging wire... has newer battery but maybe wasnt sriven for while and battery wasnt jumpable, engine 5.3 faceplate all worn for some reason so gonna oder new one.. squeeky noise on passenger side inside somewhere (not bad enough im bothered by it but i know its there), due to light color interior some light dirty areas/spots im hoping a really good detail place can clean like new otherwise might look into finding way to just replace the seat covers in the 2 front seats... all minor stuff but cause im always been very anal on keeping my cars like new just hard to except a "used" car that wasnt anally kept clean like i do with mine... i wanted the color and loved the light interrior color with the blue and had very low mileage so i had to take the bad with the good ..lol.. my cars always been show car clean.. so ill just have to get her up to that standard.. give her some loving she never got before..

Jon, when I was looking for my 4th gen, I spent over a year looking from North Carolina to Mass. and everywhere in between. yeah I saw some bad cars, but if you want something bad enough, you will do whatever it takes to get it. Dave and I saw two other cars when we looked at my '88, and the other two needed a lot of work. They were asking for more money then what I eventually paid for my '88, which made me feel beter about the gem that I found. I've gotten quite a few compliments on my car and I couldn;t be happier... Looking back, had I limited my search to just in this area, I would have paid twice as much for less of a car.

yea mine had just turned over at 40k in mileage and was selling for $13900 and is a 06 .. so basically we have same mileage mine yr older and $3k cheaper..most was seeing at the time where $16-$20k from 20k in mileage to over 60k.. i woulda done same as u take the lower mileage even thou cost few k more cause basically 25k more mileage is like 2 to 3 yrs of driving well worth spending a extra 2 k for in cost.. my 07 was ur red but didnt have the grey on bottom.. was a color i liked just wished for blue but to late on ordering it so took a color i liked and over the few yrs i had my 07 i fell in love with that red.. when she's all washed and wax she looks so sweet.. ill download some pics of her sometime.... but yea hate finding little "issues"" and wonder should i had looked at another lol

great so now we cant trust our own dealerships nice.. well im glad he got more than he thought he was deserved then for his at least someone is screwing the dealership for once not other way around... who can we trust.. i wasnt happy when i had my oil/tire rotation service at dealership when on paper work shows they check everything including wipers and i knew for fact i needed a wiper and they didnt evn knotice..wonder why this country failing.. cant trust the ones ur surposed to be able to..

all i was saying is i knew i didnt even have the rubber part on my driver side wiper arm cause it was completly off and just wedged under the arm when i washed the car day before.. was gonna get new wiper within day or 2.. then noticed local dealership had saturaday hours and i wanted to get a oil change and tire rotation for first time since having car.. and when i left i was reading the paperwork and it said all the things they check while performing a oil change which included check wiper blades.. and since my blades i can only get that style for that car from dealership woulda been nice they noticed i needed a new wiper.. had to by a wiper from auto zone that was similar to style to match my factory one on passenger side... the guy at auto zone said the reason for the style i have on the monte is for at higher speeds the style of blade with the wind keep wiper on windshield and therefore can only get that style from a dealship but they cost alot more thou than one i got but i woulda rather paid that extra to have matching blades and ones designed for that car.. and since the mechanic didnt check my blades i wonder what didnt he also not check but claimed they do.. my dad used to be a car salemen for chevy and he always advised me not to go to valvoline places cause they try sell u stuff u dont need and dont change ur oil but say they do ect ect.. and if they mess something up its not under warrenty unlike u go to dealship and they mess something up the dealership will fix it ..blah blah.. but after this dealership didnt even check a simple wiper blade, all im saying is who can u truely trust then... theres been times i had a car at a dealship and took forver to get the car into a bay then wham done 5 minutes later and then had times when car got right in and wham took longer.. just saying why cant they haveing vewing area's to watch ur car like they have at delta sonic when they clean ur car..

but already paid for the one wiper blade so pointless go back dealership .. plus i didnt mean to have it sound like the wiper blade would fly upat high speeds but from what guy said and by how the wiper blade does indeed have a spoiler design to it im sure his story has some truth to it..... and yea the intant oil change places could be myth but when i had gone there in pass they do try selling u every gas additive there is.. but again at the dealership the service guy told me yea i need new tires soon and asked my dad if they make commission and he said yes so basically both places gonna try sell u stuff that u might or might not need and who knows when to call their bluff lol..now granted when i bought the car i had my mind on other issues about the car and forgot to worry about car fax speically since i didnt want to know anyways cause i wanted the car just hope she didnt have bad relationships in past that gonna make her unlikeable.. the water in my wheel well housing in trunk a friend of mine showed me why and it was what i was pondering about before that the sealant around my back window didint seem right.. and after my friend looked at it and found a weak spot and that ive noticed tiny little square glass shards in my trunk that im sure my back window was replaced for some reason or another and whover sealed the new window did bad job and thats why trunk has water issues.. and a passenger side corner panel by bottom of the passenger side door rubs metal against metal u can see how the corner panel behind the tire was maybe pushed in a little even thou u see no actual dmg but some how its not lining up.. i know dealer knew what was up thats why they sold it for only 13.9k with a car with only 40k mileage.. granted i didnt ask and when i did ask about other smaller issues she goes well its used so ..... basically saying we dont care we not gonna come out and tell u everything its a used car take it or leave it.. my fault for not asking car fax but even then not everything is reported so cant really count on car fax...its just reminds me why i never owned a used car before.. this is why.. i just gotta hope i dont find out theres a major crack somewhere or something else.... if i had bought a fleet car np i would understand but i would asume most people buying a sports model isnt gonna treat the car as a pick up..

but im relaxing just gotta hope with my love and care she will be like new again in due time

 lol.. well has low mileage thats a plus, and is the color i wanted back in 07 before found out was week late on ordering one(factory shut down end of june 07 i was few days late on picking color).. therefor did a dealer trade and got a red one(which i fell in love with very nice red color).. but besides those two pluses, been finding alot little issues now and making me worry about what else i might find..

as the saying goes if the price seems to good then theres something they not telling u..
