Want A Free Ride And Look At An Fd?

well since i am following vosko's footsteps I'll use his rule and just drive really fast to make it a 45 minute trip I think his car is like 180 miles from my zipcode....soooo i'll just do about 230mph and make it about a 45 minute trip
wow thats like a nice 3-3.5 hour trip for me cause to burlington is ~90miles and doing 110-100 i made it in an hour, but coming back up doing 80-85 the majority of the time it was about 2 hours. So i guess to MD is about 3 hours....now if you measure from my other house in binghamton maybe it's 45 minutes away
Rob: well it's not guaranteed to be sold, but i'm going to a shop tomorrow (if i scrounge up gas money and car wash money...about $40 or so in total) that told me "bring the title and proper ID, we'll look up the blue book value, call Paul at....." so it sounds like they are interested in it . Considering kbb.com says it's a 16,900 truck i hope to god they use that and only subtract like $1000 for the accident it was in but i have a feeling im only going to be getting about 13,500 if that for the stupid truck.

ah, well they usually only deduct for lack of equipment, in other words if your truck is the bare basic model, and they deduct for mileage.
They do add for things like CD changer, leather, **** like that.
Usually people that buy cars wholesale use a different book, the NADA book in our area, my guess is if KBB was 16,900, maybe they will offer like $13,000 tops, hoepfully in your case im wrong but I used to deal with about 6 different wholesale dealers when I had my shop.
and not to flame at all, but if you have to try to round up $40 for gas and car wash money, a FD isnt the right car to be owning, lol

rob: only reason why i have to find $40 is because i wa sin a car accident 3 weeks ago which made me bleed internally etc etc. Sooo i've been out of work, and no money is coming in currently. I was living off $300 i made for selling some tires. gonna get another $300 soon as i sell a lift kit. And i begin work hopefully this monday so my money flow will be solved, although the job pays shitty, so i am also looking for a new one of those.

if i go up to MD to grab it chances are i'll go up in a big ram 1500 (5.9 v8, ROAR) with our like 10,000lb capable dual axle trailer, toss it on that, throw a car cover on top, and chug back down to my house. Me and my dad do such stuff often because he buys and repairs ford tractors from the 50's. if anyone knows anything about them so far he has rebuilt 2 8N's and a Jubilee, all that if there were shows around here would be award winning for the detail. It's a lot like rotary car rebuilding, hard to find competent people with the right parts, but there's the small yet solid group of guys who still get like original shift ***** for the things .
Here's hoping i get 13,500 for my truck . Also rob i think you're dead on because one shop i talked to offered me "around 13,000" and when i said 13,500 he was like "i dont think i'll be able to do that". Oh well maybe they're worth more in new york or something .
