I've looked high and low, near and far. Here's all the places I've been in search of a 3/S:
Every dealer in a 50 mile radius.
AutoTrader (catalog, weekly, next one comes out the 27th!)
AutoTrader.com (daily)
cars.com (daily)
carsoup.com (daily)
A huge network of mechanics in the south, via a couple good connections o' mine.
I've gone as far as 250 highway miles to check on cars in Kentucky, and Georgia. No dice. The first one was a very nice black 1st gen. Beautiful car. Put the clutch to the floor, and started her up. I got passed by a cloud of white smoke. :eek6: I turned it off and popped the hood to find that it had NO oil in it. Deal breaker.
Goodie.
My second adventure involved a red 1st gen. Called the place and asked if it ran good, to which I got the reply, "Yeah. It still runs like new!" I'm getting excited. I go all the way down near Atlanta, Georgia to find that the ECU had gone bad, and someone neglected to tell the person I talked to. I would have bought the car if I had a car trailer on me.
Great.
So now I'm getting closer to the weekend again, and I'll have the freetime to go on another roadtrip and preview another car. I'm dead set on a 3000GT or a Stealth, and there's no changing my mind now. I've already got the tools needed to fiberglass my previous system into the hatch area. :ugh2:
Anyone know of any good places to go in search of a used car, or am I doing everything right so far? This is killing me!
