BigCarrot, sorry to hear about your troubles, what a bunch of **** bags!!! Well next time remember there are lots of people on the VCA board that would be more than willing to take a look at the car before you buy or inspect it yourself. I remember seeing a red 99 ACR here in Colorado on Ebay a while back, what that a good deal? If you are serious about buying the car, let me know and I will check it out for you.

I emailed that guy in Colorado last night and haven't heard back from him. That's really the car I'm looking for. If it goes any further, I might take you up on that. I just don't want to have people all over the country looking at cars for me until I pretty much make a deal. I don't want to waqste anyone's time.

Some members like to check out the cars though :) Chuck, Gerald, and Antonio checked mine out for me down in Tampa before I bought it, way helpful. Definitely put the call out for a pre-inspection, you'll likely get offers to help, well worth it, but you already know that now ;) Oh, and you coulda got a beer with Chuck while in Tampa?!

Something that worked well for me when I was looking for a car.

I would ask the seller where they took their car to be serviced. Then I would contact the Viper Tech and ask him about the car. Actually it only took one Viper I found on ebay, talked to the Viper tech and then sent all the money through Pay Pal.

Flew the 1000 miles and picked up the car.

You know how fools get all the luck, well I was VERY lucky. :)

Who's in Colorado Springs? JF8854777, are you near there? If someone is local and could swing by tomorrow and check this car out that would be great. This guy seems pretty legit. He gave me his Viper tech's name and number and way too much other information. lol He seems like a real car nut. I think I might be paying a little too much for the car, but at this point I'd rather have piece of mind than $1,000 dollars. lol

Big Carrot, take a look at the thread "Anyone near "Old Colorado City" to look at a car? ", I think Jack can help you out (looks like someone else wants to see the car too). I live in Denver and the springs is a bit far for me and Jack is in the springs anyways so he is probably your best man. If you really get in a crunch let me know, my email is JF5885477 at yahoo.

I talked to you yesterday Mrviper. I'd prefer not to have that many clicks on the odometer if I can help it. I'll keep it in mind.
