Re: 1990 Craigs List ad - Thoughts?

$3000 last year getting a car here from Canton, Ohio. There was an extra $500 charge involved largely because they are greedy buggers, possibly because they are dishonest, but your options get limited in a hurry crossing the border if you don't have a week to go and get it yourself.

Re: 1990 Craigs List ad - Thoughts?

I park the 'vert with the top down quite often. True, the e-pass (pay road transpnder), garage door opener, and anything loose is locked in the trunk but one of the nice things about a 20 year old unknown car is that the risk of theft is low.

Orlando is not crime free but some risks/locations are better than others. The problem is that a true show car cannot be treated this way. Mine are more "I drive them & could just get in any and go on a road trip" than buffed and shiny.

My current dilemma is the top on the 'vert. It is a cheap vinyl replacement that has seem better days. OTOH it keeps the rain off/climate out & is up so rarely that it usually requires a day of stretching to latch properly.

Put on top of a 10-10 paint job and you see the problem, just is not high on my priorities.
