TobyT,

does it happen to be a red 2000 gts or a blue white gts on ebay?

if so stay away from those cars, that seller is highly suspect, those cars have been "sold" and relisted 3 times on ebay

also a viperclub member saw the blue and white in person and said that is was a definate crash damaged car, mis-aligned, and over sprayed.

It is a blue and white yes.

I have talked with the previous owner of the red 2000 gts and it's a "no stories" vehicle. He told me the complete history of the car and the dealer was ok to deal with. The red 2000 would make a nice car for someone.



I am still investigating the blue and white. It has been re listed but I am in contact with the previous bidders and so far it has been a consistent story...one person couldn't get the cash and the other I am still waiting for feedback. The dealer said the second auction bidder never made contact with him. This story was also told to me by another person who called the dealer.

I was just told by the general manager that the car has never had any damage or repaint work.

We shall see later today.

The general manager also told me that they will guarantee this in writing.

Maybe this a different car or he is being very deceptive.

Do you know who this Viperclub member is? You sure you have the correct vehicle?

The car is being looked at today by Ron who posted here on this thread.

Also Chuck Tator is doing some investigative work for me as well and so far nothing has come up. ( a very nice man by the way)

I do not have all the info to make an official statement about the car so when I do ...I will post it here.

Thank you for the offer but the car is being looked at today.

 

[Toby]

I talked with the selling dealer and the car was serviced there on a regular basis and no major problems with the car. Some minor things were done including a battery change and two wheels replaced under warranty.

The service person knew the owner and I was told that he took very good car of his vehicles.

So far...no red flags.

 

[Toby]

Ok...the car was inspected today (Thank you Ron)

its been hit but repaired..pass side rear. only tell tale is the painted rivets.
all fluids dirty (not a good sign)
good size oil leak..maybe nothing..maybe huge.
window weatherstripping both sides bad
and some other minor things.

The dealer is going to have car inspected at a Dodge dealer for needed repairs and call me in a few days. (maybe)

I will wait and see but I am now 50/50 on the car.

He has a pending offer of 44K from another buyer but I am sure that buyer doesn't know we all know now.

If all deals fall away...then I might pic it up at "my price"





Thanks.

I'm the original claim to fame on the overspray, I think. I noticed it under the hood though.

Highline? careful.

e-mail mem or call if you need to.

 

[Toby]

Yikes...over spray in the front too among other things. ()


not a bad car but I want something a bit better without lots of "gray" history.

Thanks Chuck Tator
Thanks Ron
Thanks Big Medicine
Thanks VCA!
