Re: 03 in my sights!

This is helpful. The owner said the V8 emblems got loose a while back so he took them off. Maybe I can look for the vintage looking ones.

Re: 03 in my sights!

My finance company did an AutoCheck in order to approve the loan. Should I do a carfax in top of this?

Re: 03 in my sights!

First I'll say I don't know that much about Car Fax. I guess it wouldn't hurt but if someone pays out of pocket for a repair I don't think it would even show up on Car Fax. Unless you know the car or owner buying a used car is pretty much a crap shoot.

Re: 03 in my sights!

That's how I'm looking at it too. I think I likely already know everything there is to know, and for the finance company to have done their due diligence, it's probably good enough.

Re: 03 in my sights!

My question of the hour is about (drum roll please): Car Cover!

Like I said, I'd drive her home in bubble wrap, but when I park her (occasionally) at work, I can't put her in a garage - so I'm looking at car covers. How long and wide are our cars, please? Thank you! I tried looking up specs, and just got confused between wheel base and width, so I've come back to the brain trust for this one, too. Please, and thanks!

Length 186.3" width 72" height 52.1" wheelbase is the measurement from center of front wheel to center of rear wheel 107.2"

Hi Tina...another RVA TBird Gal here! Will be nice to have a beautiful blue one in the area!!! Congratulations!

As for the front plate...be careful, as I work for the City and the RPD does enforce.

Meow, we're gonna have to meet up over coffee and have a bird watch. ;) love that bronze!

Tina

If you decide to mount your front plate you might think of painting it to match the bird. Kinda blends in with the car. Know you are going to love the bird. Couple of suggestions on here on how to mount the plate without having to drill into the bumper

Re: 03 in my sights!

That color idea a great suggestion. I'll look for the other mounting suggestions. Thx. 7 days to go!

Re: 03 in my sights!

I would think that painting it would be just as bad as not having it.
