I bought my old v6 at an auction, I mean my grandma bought it for me and it was bone stock then I changed that. I also saw my SS on ebay and I contacted the seller after the auction ended and made an offer and got it!

Bought my 02 35Th at an auction, no regrets.

Good point.....

I have been dying to find one of these in the Buffalo, NY area. Could be fun and a good way to make some scratch.

**Tobynine9** · 02-22-2007, 06:13 AM

Good point? I was asking a question.

Sarge said he likes to shop them. Sarge is in Texas. So there must be at least one or two open to the public somewhere nearby.

I think he meant, he wants to know the answer to your question as well, since he too lives in Texas.

The little avatar/info thing says Tejas.

Maybe I'll just shoot Sarge a pm.

I dont see how that would matter. When the bid is cheap, Id still go against Donald Trump, its when Trump adds $5k to the opening bid, thats when I would stop.

If you get a good deal on a car in Toronto, your money is worth 15% more on the car. There are some restrictions on cars you can bring across the border, but might be worth while.
