FYI - I asked about the possibility of a convertible Beetle, and their reply was, "Note the lack of a frame around the door glass. *wink*"

I'd guess the battery used to power the accessories and the battery used to help propel the car are on different circuits. More likely, the non-LED taillamps on the ECO are for cost savings to keep the surcharge for the ECO over the non-ECO Malibu to a minumum.

My favorite's also the 300S. The SRT-8 is nice, but the S is just a bit more understated, and I actually like that. It toes the line nicely between SRT-8 and Executive. The Executive I felt was a tad too blingy.

That blue photo is very, VERY over-processed. It doesn't really reveal much. I think the car will look a lot better in person. I'll find out soon enough

You could try Special Interest.The Special Interest paper comes bundled with the Car Buyers Market. It's geared more towards the northeast.

Congratulations, dude. Challenger is a great choice. Enjoy it. You've been through hell trying to find a nice car. I'm glad to see those days are finally over. Just out of curiousity, what happened with the goat?

Fiat 500 on display at a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep dealership.

wtf? I posted a CTS-V coupe. The host must not like the fact that I hotlinked his pic. Edted my post and got rid of the pic of that disgusting vomit inducing picture. Now let us never speak of this again

Did you need to ask? Other contenders:

That'd be my guess too on the fluid leak, a bad pump or a cracked line/hose. I don't think the impact from a deer would have been so great that it made it all the way to the rack. A PS pump or line should be a relatively straightforward fix. Belt diagram for the LS1 (Fbody and GTO): The pump's right on the top. It doesn't get any easier than this. Look for some residue on the alternator, since it's right below the pump. Given the body panels that were changed and the location of the pump, it's very likely that it took a direct hit from the deer.

Though I'd really like to see a side profile shot before making final judgment, it looks like this is going to be a very nice car. Easily the looker of the segment.

Ah - I thought the rating on my dad's Eagle Vision was 200-something. But still an incredible engine for the time. The Japanese OHC V6s didn't touch 200 until the turn of the decade.

Well, it doesn't seem like there's anything that would be a showstopper. Your biggest issue is the PS fluid leak and I'd consider getting that fixed as a condition of the sale. The other stuff you could easily handle on your own. Ebay the 5.7 badge, nip/tuck the front end, and either put back the stock pipe, or take the opportunity to install a cat-back wen you're ready. The fact that he was willing to put it up on a lift to let you look it over is somewhat comforting. I've went looking for used cars and met owners who said to me, in these exact words, "Look, just take the f**king car." If I were you I'd bring a good mechanic (preferrably one with access to a OBD-II scanner) for a second look before you pull the trigger. As for the Chargers, I was pretty certain that the general consensus on the 2.7L is "stay away". I do know a few people with 3.5L powered LX cars, and as DF said they're pretty reliable and provide decent power for what they are. *turns to Dodgefan* Off topic, but is this 3.5 in any way related to the 3.5 in your Intrepid and in the 1st gen LH cars?

Good choice - I'm sure Camino and Northstar will agree. Was the damage repaired? Look underneath for some broken brackets, etc. Make sure the structure is sound. What's your take on the Charger? I only ask because this, this, and this can all be had for mid-teens.

The hood/trunk stripe treatment is interesting - not sure if I like it yet. Wheels are nice, as is the suspension upgrade to the SS (man that is some F-A-T rubber in the back). The rest of the package I'm indifferent to - a typical anniversary package. Anyone else think it's time for the Camaro logo to make its triumphant return? Hey, if a W-body Monte Carlo can have its own logo, this Camaro can.

Honestly, are door lock switches even that big a deal anymore, with RKE fobs with RF transmitters that have the capability to unlock the car when you approach it? I think they're better off just on the dash, but NBD. I'm not gonna be a drama queen about it and make *this* the thing that keeps me from buying an SRX. Back on the 3.6L DI - that's good news for it. It's a shame the 2.8L and 3.0L V6s turned out to be duds in a sense.

Proper speling, grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation in the ad text would be nice too, but I might be asking for too much.

"Is that your banana parked in front of the church?" "Maybe you should put a sign on top of it and start your own taxi service." "Why the hell did they go with an I5?"

So really it's not significantly worse than anything else just because it's made by BMW. Interesting. I'd honestly rock one. From what I remember of it when I sat in it, you could either have rear seat passengers or cargo, but not both. I saw one in Queens last week with a set of 15" steelies on it. That's probably not a bad idea for dealing with potholes and protecting your thousand-dollar tires and your thousand-dollar rims.

Mini might be a tad too small for him and his guitar equipment, but that's a great choice. Someone I ride with has one with a roof mounted bike rack. It's funny seeing the height of his Mini doubled with a Trek 1000 on top. When stuff does go wrong on it, what are the repair bills like compared to the same job on, say, a Ford or Chevy? Some good advice. I still think a "work truck" spec full-sizer might be the vehicle that suits the majority of your needs. Generally, when buying cars, if the price seems to be too good to be true, it probably is - unfortunately.
