    Blacklick huh, I live off of Havens Corners and Taylor just past blacklick. I'll keep my eye out for you. I got my 2005 MCS at the Liberty Jeep dealership off of 161/Beech road.

    I'm pretty sure I saw you earlier this week as I was sitting at the light at Waggoner and Havens Corner.

    I was unable to go and get the car Saturday. I'm picking it up tomorrow for an extended test drive. I want to go over it real good to make sure there aren't any problems I'm missing. Anyone want to chime in as to everything I should look out for? If it looks good hopefully it will be in the garage tomorrow night!

    I have it home now. Looks good in the driveway! It was a fun drive home. Hopefully everything looks good. I could get used to listening to that supercharger.

    Shrooming of the strut towers. Tire wear, it is good to know if the prior owner kept the car in alignment if they did that chances are they keep other things maintained. When I bought my Volovo I forgot to check the AC because it was a cold day make sure you check the heat and AC. I would also push every button in the thing and make sure every little thing works. Put a CD in it, check the oil and other fluid levels. I would pull the wheels and check the brake pads.

    I love the sound of my Super Charger, if you get a Cold Air Intake, it gets louder! :biggrin5:

    Ended up not getting it today. Car was in great shape, but other things weren't working out. Maybe they will come around....

    Well once the weather turn a bit cooler convertibles drop in value. Maybe you can wait them out & score a deal.

    Stick with it and enjoy the ride. I miss going home at night and searching M3 sites to see if I could find the exact car I wanted. Of course I ended up going in a different direction, but the hunt was a lot of fun.

    Chuck, you're right! I'm just not going to tell them that:devil:

    The hunt is fun, but the negotiating is a pain! Still negotiating and things are getting closer. I have pretty much made my last stand and I'm waiting for them to meet me there. I leave Monday to go to Dallas for a couple weeks for training. Will rekindle the search when I get back.:mad2:

    If you don't seal the deal before you leave it's OK. Time is on your side. :Thumbsup:

    Yes, yes it is. They tried to feed me the line that they sell cars nationwide and the nearing end of convertible season doesn't bother them. Also that convertibles are special and they can let them sit on the lot longer.:lol:
