I still can't believe I did it. I just bought a 2000 SVT on ebay Site Unseen!

I'll be picking it up this weekend, and soon to be the ownwer. I've wanted one for a while now. I've absolutely loved my 95 V6 MTX, and upgrading to the SVT seemed like the only next logical step.

Its amazing how things just come together. On Tuesday I bought a one-way ticket down to DC. I'm taking mt grandfathers to the WWII Memorial Dedication Ceremony. www.wwiimemorial.com It means the world to them, and we're all excited about going down for the Dedication Ceremony.

Then, Wednesday AM I was rearended. The car is ok, but it just put me in the mood for something new. The trunk and rear bumper needs replacing, but its still drivable.

So today I just start looking around online, and then I find it.

And Look, its in Baltimore. What a coincidence. I'm flying into BWI tomorrow night.

So I bid at the last minute, and come Sunday I should be driving home in a 2000 SVT. The real selling point for me is the 100K Extended Warranty. This is a bargin with the Warranty IMO.

The owner is a retired principal, and he's loved the car. It's been garaged everynight, but he just feels too old for the Sporty car. He bought a new Hybrid car. The car is completely unmodded, and has already had the dash replaced.

Some things just come together...

Congrats again Z! You should have that Carfax in your inbox by now. That's great you get to pick it up. Nice way to take the Newsed SVT on an 8hr. road trip to test it out. Looks like you got yourself a pretty good deal.
