I'm all over that like white on rice. This guy better return my email inquiry. Especially since I'll have a perfectly running 2.5L from my current car.

EDIT: going to pick this thing up most likely at 1pm :laugh: thanks for the tip... I wasn't even in the market for it.

Run away from this car.

OK so I go to the guys place and look the car over. yea it has hail damage. Roof is trashed as is the hood. Massive dent next to the sunroof and on the rear driverside door near the bottom of the window. Definitely is going to need more then PDR work. both side skirts have hit curbs and need work. Rear bumper is scratched pretty bad and would need paint. Front bumper is decent, but I know he hit something because the license plate bracket is buckled. Engine bay looks pretty decent. Rod is thrown threw the back side of the block near the alternator, which is typical. Interior smells of a very girly perfume, poor choice of car freshener. He definitely smokes, but the girly smell is so overwhelming you wouldn't know. He has a neon kit on it that his gf apparently gave him as a gift, but he is taking it off the car before he sells it (thank god, as it is ugly). Now the icing on the cake... trunk reaks of mold. The carpet on the sides and bottome were saturated, bottom-line the trunk needs to be gutted. Talking with the guy it has definitely been beat on. Everything else from what I can tell is in good order though. He is the second owner, original owners were the guys parents. Car is originally from Colorado and came up to MN in 2005 when he bought it.

I offered him a generous $700 and he refused. Lowest he will go is $1000 if anyone feels like spending that kind of dough on the pile. Poor car, it would have been nice to own in it's prime.

Wow, that too bad. a 2000 green svt is a ncie rare car :(

I drove by the one in ramsey for 1800. it was raingin and i didnt have my camera, so i may go back by it again on monday. the car would need a fender (not too bad, but hit) drivers headlight, and i believe the pasenger rear door had a smaller dent. missing some if not all the jack covers. the passneger side ground effect was starting to come off in the back but didnt look too bad. the headlights (the good one) was super clear and i didnt notive any hazing.

I'll probably go back monday and maybe take some photos but it did bring baack memories of my 99 t-green :(

if i had 600 i would be all over that... i dont currently have a drivable car.
my dad is possibly looking for a car but i think he wanted something bigger like a taurus, i will bring it up to him though.

edit: is the front driverside tire bigger then the rest?

Where in Ramsey? As that's just up the road for me.
 
Wow I haven't been on here in forever! How is everybody? My car is currently parked due to having some issues. So right now I'm driving my truck. One of these days I'll have money and time to return my lady to her former glory...

P.S. When does one get to access the "been around a while" forums? I've been a member on here for a long time now :shrug:

I think it's 3 years... so your close.
 
LOL - I haven't been around for a bit and when I hit the new posts button some quite questionable stuff came up. Then I realized I had access to the old folks area :laugh:
