License is pretty much if you want to demo for LE or become a dealer. Most people cannot obtain this unless they have an FFL and a storefront.

Tax Stamp is if you want to obtain ownership of it, whether you are a business (entity) or an individual.

Yeah, I know how that goes. I sell/install Direct and Dish and people feel screwed over that package sometimes.

Here's some advice, if you are on a promotional program do not change it. If you do you will lose promotional pricing.

Brian, that seems like a lot of money.

costs like 3k per year or some shit.

Class 3 license does cost money annually, but if you just want the tax stamp that's a one time fee of less than $300.

I had a reconstructed titled S4 before the one I have now. It was a theft recovery and it was the worst decision of my life. Found out it had also been wrecked as well as stolen. The car was worth next to nothing with only 67k miles. Just my 2 cents.

That's because it was a B5 S4! Hardest car I've ever tried to sell.

I would also check the tire wear, even if it does drive straight down the road at high speeds. It could barely meet alignment specs after an accident and be ruining tires and thats an indication that the cars frame may be damaged.

This is also very good advice that I forgot about.

That's the smartest route. There is so much false and negative information out there that it's a sea of shit to try and get the right info. If the car tracks straight at high speeds it's been fixed correctly.

I know you really want a Viper and that might be a good way to get into one, and I'd recommend it if you plan to hold onto it for a long while. That is of course, if it checks out. Obviously check the body lines and don't be afraid to ask for specific shots of the car at different angles, etc so you know what to expect before driving or traveling to see it. Just use common sense and you should be alright.

A lot of people say that an S2K can't take a hit of any kind and it will screw up the "X-frame", etc... I don't know for sure but I bet those same people would say that about a Viper. They're very different vehicles, but they're both relatively light-weight, nimble cars.

Throw a roll cage in it for added rigidity and call it a day!

Well, this is partially true about the price. But I once had an S2k with LOW MILES. (Yes, I understand it's no Viper, it's just my personal comparison.)

What I do know is this:

It was purchased in early 01 and it was an 01 model. It was totaled less than 6 months after it was purchased. The damage was ONLY to the LF headlight, wheel and headlight. Because of the cost of these things at that time it was totaled, purchased by someone and taken out of state. The title was "washed" and when I got it years later it was a clean title. Only a car fax revealed otherwise. I did not believe it because I had been under the car and it was clean and nothing was even close to looking like it wasn't factory. I took it to a dealership (Roush Honda) and they said it was fine and they doubted it was totaled. When we got to talking about what was replaced and the replacement costs it quickly added up.

My suggestions is to have him take you on a high speed ride to determine how it tracks down the road. If it's straight and true, then it's good to go.

Also, some insurance companies will total a car depending on the insured's contract with them, etc. There are a lot of variables, but I am not scared of a totaled car personally unless I either want to sell it for cash or I find the repairs to be unfit.

It's not a big deal and I could talk to you about this for hours. If you want PM me for my number and I will give you the low down on it.

Rebuilt vehicles have to pass rigorous inspection to get back on the road, so they are usually VERY safe if not safer than other cars out there.

Yeah, you will lose some resale value, but from my experience (which is vast) you only lose 20% off book. People will argue with me all day long, but I have numbers to prove it and in the trade game it usually means nothing. It's a good way to get into a car you might not be able to afford otherwise.

Everyone wants something different.

You need to decide if you want a revolver. There are PLENTY of benefits to this.

Or, if you want an automatic. There are PLENTY of downsides to that.

What are you REALLY trying to do with it?

Carry everyday? How many hours a day?

There's a LOT of questions you need to answer to help me help you. I recommend and sell anyone anything, but I prefer to get them what's right for them.

They are probably worth more to you sentimentally than they are dollar-wise.

They're all great guns, but just don't have huge values.

I can get you one (HR24) for $110 and it will take me about a week to get it in stock.

My next shipment gets here Weds of next week.

Gayest music ever, but here you go:

Does it come in less than gallons?
