you have 2 already... and some of the lowest mileage i've seen.

i mean... they're awesome cars but 3? AND a LX?


Yeah, You do have a point - I don't need THAT many SVTs and would sell the black SVT eventually. I'm more interested in having two near identical tropic green/tan cars. Its real appealing to me to have one dead stock and one highly modified.

Rant on:
By the way, the body and mechanics of the black SVT are in good shape - but the interior was a real damn mess. I have it stripped to the sheet metal in my garage repairing the damage. IMHO, RobSVT, the guy I bought it from, should NEVER EVER work on his own cars. Thank god he did not imagine himself to be a mechanic.

What the hell was with the household electrical cord speaker wiring and gorilla glue all over the dash? Every damn interior access panel looks like it was pried off - with no attempt to remove the screws first! The car was just plain filthy when I picked it up, inside and out. The guy made ridiculously amateurish and random electrical ââ?¬Å?mods." I had fuses blowing out on me on my way home when I tried to open the sunroof and later when I turned on the "radio."

Well, it�s starting to look good now. I've been using my green SVT for interior parts and panels and such to replace the damaged ones (same interior colors), which means I'll have to order new ones. I've replaced the aftermarket stereo and all the speakers, installed a CD changer. I�ve removed the seats/carpets and pressure washed and scrubbed a dozen spilled cokes and fast food out of them. And on and on.

Too much work. I paid top dollar for an adult owned SVT, not some rotten teenager's project car. I have to leave Ebay feedback on this yet and am not sure what I'm going to say. From me, he had full payment in less than three days - which is about as good as it gets, but I may take the risk of a retaliatory negative to give an honest feedback on this guy.

I had to rush out there to pick it up because he told me in no uncertain terms that he was going to continue to use it for daily transportation in Baltimore until I did so! No kidding about that, said he didn�t have another car! He backed off when I made walking noises, but still...

Rant off:

I guess Iââ?¬â?¢m just angry because with even a little care the man could have avoided doing so damn much interior damage ââ?¬â?? he describes himself as an engineer. I can only hope he is not an electrical engineer!
