    Carfax creampuff has seen a lot of auctions..bad?

    I will usually pass on a car that saw multiple auctions. If the other dealers can't manage to retail it for a profit, what makes me think I'll be able to? I buy one-owner certified cars at the dealer auctions. About four weeks ago, I bought an "As Is" '04 Eclipse that looked to be a steal...

    I'm a Viper owner!! Pics inside.

    Re: I\'m a Viper owner!! Pics inside. I've only driven my GTS about 200 miles, and I don't know if I could ever get used to the pedal positioning. It's almost like you sit facing the driver's door :-) Mike M

    San Francisco = NOT Viper friendly

    I lived there from 1992-2005 ... And it was a rare day that I took a really nice car there. It was fun for the posing, but it was way too stressful wondering what was going to happen to it. Mike M

    2002 or a 2000....?

    Since you'll obviously want sapphire blue, you should look only at the '01 models :-)

    California registration DMV

    Johann is right - It isn't really an emissions thing ... It's a revenue thing. That always seemed ironic to me since I was TRYING to pay CA state sales tax on the vehicles, and they were telling me that I had to remove them from the state. Okay ... That makes sense! Mike M

    I need extended warrantee on 99ACR with 22700 miles

    Get this - I got an advertisement in the mail saying I could call about an extended warranty on my '01 GTS. Just for a goof, I called the place. I told them the car had 2,500 miles on it. I told them I'd probably drive it less than 500 miles a year. They wouldn't touch it. When I asked why...

    California registration DMV

    It is a bunch on nonsense - I got hit with that 'law' many times during the 13 years I lived there. And I sure got tired of my neighbor (A fire chief) asking me why I ran Missouri tags on some of my cars. If it can be f'ed up, leave it to California to find a way. Mike M

    New pics of my new Ride!

    That's a good looking ride - It feels good to have all that hard work pay off! Great mileage too.

    Local KC RT/10 for $29K - and not a salvage title!

    That is one of the longer write-ups I've ever seen on eBay. Looks to be a pretty good deal, unless of course it pops lots higher in the final hour. Hopefully for the seller, it does just that!

    Do you think the mods on your car help or hinder resale ?

    Depends on the buyer - For me, mods hinder my buying it unless it is done exactly like I want. If you find the buyer that likes exactly what you've done, you can do okay. Mike M

    Is 30,000miles high for a '01?

    Re: Is 30,000miles high for a \'01? I have 2,560 very easy miles on my '01 Sapphire/Silver GTS. It's a black interior car, and it would probably go to a new owner for $62K. Sometimes I wish I would have bought a less expensive high mileage car for my first Viper - But I'm a sucker for low...

    MAN I SURE MISS MY GTS.............

    WHAT? I did ten years active duty USAF and couldn't afford a Viper unless my wife offered to work street corners in nice neighborhoods! What's the secret? Thanks for your service, and we wish you a safe trip home. Don't go the Viper first thing, or the little lady will definitely get pissed...

    Trade in value in Kelly Blue Book vs. Reality?

    You can never predict. The key factor for a dealer is desirability, aka how likely is he/she to resell it at a profit. I will pay over wholesale for a car that I know I can turn. I won't pay close to wholesale for a car that I'm gonna have to work to sell. Unfortunately for SRT10 sellers...

    Pics of my SRT lowered with KW's and HRE wheels!

    Re: Pics of my SRT lowered with KW\'s and HRE wheels! Okay, you should take this as a big compliment - I'm not crazy about the SRT cars, and I generally don't like black wheels. But YOUR combination - I'd be proud to drive that! Mike M

    Noisy OEM brakes..

    My GTS has 2,500 pampered miles on it, and the brakes sound like metal on metal sometimes. I figure they've just glazed over, so I'll have to try a few hard stops.
