Nothing super special about them other than its a nice package in a large sedan. The yamaha v6 can rev to like 8500rpms in factory form I believe, so that's pretty nice and according to dyno sheets they put down in the neighborhood of 190whp/wtq stock, so for the early to mid 90's that's pretty impressive. I wanted a large family car that wasn't completely boring. With 2 kids in car seats I can't have a sports coupe, and I didn't want a buzzy little honda nor a grandpa town car so this is a happy medium. 4doors, quiet/comfy cruiser with 220hp on tap and a 5spd stick. Handles really good for its size and has nice pickup. Jeff...i wish it was turbo'd, but that'd probably just lead to more headaches down the road.

LOL Evan. No I don't think so. I gotta chill out on the car thing for a while so I wanted to buy the nicest, cleanest car I could for the money I wanted to spend, and stumbled across this on autotrader. It was for sale by the local dealer that the original owner bought it new at, and had serviced by regularly, he was 72 and just traded it in 2 weeks ago. So I did buy it from the dealer but the original owner was nice enough to meet me at the dealer when I arrived with EVERYTHING he had from the past 15 years with the car, we talked for over an hour and he was really nice. I paid a pretty penny for it, high to some but realistically besides the age of the vehicle its a helluva lot of car for the money. Plus, according to SHO enthusiasts it was a steal. I literally had 7-8 people asking me to tell them where the car was/offer me money NOT to purchase it, or request that when I was ready to sell let them know first. 220hp yamaha 6cylinder, 5spd, low miles, fully loaded, all records. In the past 5 years/8000 miles he put close to $5000 in regular and extra maintenance. Expensive because it was nearly all dealer work and he was VERY nitpickey. I loled reading through his personal TYPE-WRITER written letters in regards to the car and what he was thinking back then. He's never even used ANY of the extra keys or keyfobs with the car, and the back seat doesn't even look used. Engine pic...its hawtness. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4118/4826907307_ef54f99091_b.jpg

So I went to Indiana yesterday and picked up a nearly mint 95 SHO from the original owner, with all records and paperwork, and to top it off...only 65k miles! His documentation is ridiculous, even down to every single gas fill up, price/gallon, his mpg and date/location. Moonlight Blue w/ the leather/cloth interior and a stick! I love it, it cruised great at 75 with ac blasting on the 3+hr ride home yesterday, and I spent a good hour reading through all his records and receipts etc, its funny reading things back in the mid 90's and then thinking about it today. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4121/4817440000_49735ab023_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4817439802_84e8300e2f_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4142/4816817153_2d2b6d0a3d_b.jpg

If you go to the BMV they can print off any and all cars you've had in your name. Obviously since you said it was in your parents one of them would have to go. Last time I did it it was free and the vin# was included in the print out along with make/model and date bought/sold.

thought you was trying to get out of debt? lol. screw tht right? get 2 and i'll rent one from you whenever you go.

The 08/09 Fusions are different than the '10 Fusion. With that said, I had an 09 fusion w/ the SAP package, sync, etc loaded up, and it was BORING and I sold it within 6 months of buying new. Not sure how you'll touch a '10 with $15k...but who knows. My old neighbor had a TSX or TL, can't remember, but like an 05/06 i think, 6spd, he said like 270hp, etc, that was a nice fun car...

I do...burrito time!

aye...make sure you also have the 20% coupon...they are regularly in car magazines. I have a couple subscriptions that have them now, but I used to pluck them out of one on the rack, like at a local library or krogers, etc. 20% on $300 is $60! You can buy my burrito with that.

Done! Are you lowering it beforehand? Thanks for doing what most of us cannot.

and add a backseat....?

What's cheap to you? To me cheap is $300 or less for a brand new trailer. If you agree check out Harbor freight, you can get a 4x8 trailer for like $250.

bought one, lock it up

+1, and its not even $100 anymore since you're offering someone $25 to assume the contract. All that hassle isn't worth $75.

I bought my 99 formula, (ls1/a4) with 85k on it a few months back for $6k. It has t-tops....does that count?

For $6k you could find a 99-04 mustang GT convertible, or a nice sn95 5.0 vert...nice v8 rumble with the top down...

The Aero is the 6liter. Dunno about the suspension.

Your post is semi confusing as I'm not who told you to look at replacement value...but if your policy includes replacement cost, then you just go to the store, find the exact or closet match to your TV, xbox, etc etc, until you are whole again. Some policies do not include this and they simply depreciate your items and you would only get that portion. Sorry to hear man, good luck getting it all cleaned up.

duct tape....duh

Damn nice bike but talk about depreciation!

Damnnnnn.....I thought I was fat @ 250lbs....but there's a need for a 1000lb stretcher??? Jesus...

I had a similar situation from when I bought my home in 2007. After tearing out all the overgrown bushes/trees my grass was wrecked. I tried fixing it, aerating/seeding it, in 2008 but wasn't having the effect I wanted. So in 2009 I killed it all, let it sit for 1 month to make sure nothing was growing, and did it all over. Came back beautiful in 6-8weeks and its nice and thick and green now, hardly any weeds. I'll grab the name of the seed/feed stuff i used when i get home, but honestly i think its a little late in the season to use that kind of stuff. I had bad luck with the spray stuff, it left yellow patches all over my yard, lol, looked like spots.

The lights flickered in reynoldsburg...that's about it. Some serious lighting though...

Need some longtubes...just seeing if anyone had used ones before buying new.

What year is it out of/how many miles/when was it last running? Phone number/location? How much without heads/energy suspension mounts?

Looking for a complete longblock from a foxbody mustang in running condition, or the same from a 96-97 explorer/mountaineer. Only thing I don't need is the intake or exhaust manifolds... Cash in hand. Thanks.
