  1. Quick Heads Up: the 2013 on Ebay (Black w/ wheels) for 169k was in a major accident and has had the entire front end replaced (front bumper, hood, both front quarter panels, windshield, ect and both airbags have been deployed). Long story short: some guys 18 year old kid took it out for a spin and wrecked it pretty bad into a guard rail in Florida. The insurance company didnt want to declare it at a total loss, so they fixed it. The Dealer was pretty open about all of this and sharing with me upfront (which was cool).. So when pricing them, throw this specific car (169k) out as it is not indicative of the other 2013's for sale right now as far as pricing goes.. The same dealer has a silver 05 for 159k with 5k miles (which he paid 143K from auction)... Kind of a boring looking car (color combo) but if could be had for around 150k, not a bad deal I guess (but I still think these will fall a bit more..)
  2. Fantastic, that's exactly what I needed.. Thanks so much!!
  3. Can anyone provide me with some recent auction #'s and or a solid wholesale price on this car? Thanks so much
  4. Really? I hadn't heard anything about this.. I will check to see if I can find anyone local that has experience with this and can do it for me.. Thanks for the heads up!!!!
  5. I do the same thing, but it doesn't help at all.. I store my cars in a climate controlled warehouse, so the initial trip in the H1 is fine because it's not hot and the AC can do a decent job of keeping the wagon somewhat cool (tolerable), but it is when you park it for more than 5 minutes and get back in, it just won't cool down (actually feels like it's just blowing hot air at you like a hair dryer...). Also, the wagon will run 220+ water temp immediately when it is 110+ outside, but if you have a hill to climb or need to go above 65mph, forget it... I knew this when purchased it, but this wagon was exactly what I wanted and was looking for (for the last 6 months).. It needed to be a low mileage wagon and wanted one that was painted Matte Black (not wrapped)... The values are holding really solid for a clean, no story H1 (in some cases appreciating, however not like the Alpha's). I picked this H1 up for at least 1/2 what an Alpha is going for and has less mileage & wear/tear than most newer Alpha's had..
  6. Thanks again for the "welcome back".. Looking forward to posting and being part of the discussions more often! I will for sure take pictures as soon as I get back from Vacation.. The Hummer is awesome (in my opinion, I know a lot of people that don't care for them and or would not spend a $ on one, however I am the exception..). I have owned a few previously and always regretted selling them, so that was the 1st car I purchased on July 1st.. It's a 1999 (1 owner) 28,000 original mile wagon that was just repainted Military Matte Black and after I took procession, I added 22" Matte Black Fuel Wheels w/ Nitto Mud Grappler tires. It has an aftermarket stereo system, wench, LED light bar, double limo window tint (you can't see a thing inside) with the windshield tinted at 35%. It's got the stock tan interior (in great shape), but I will be redoing it all to black leather and black carpet (except for the factory tan dash, console, ect..) It's just mean looking!!! The problem with it is (and anyone who has owned an H1 will understand), the AC in it sucks and AZ is hot right now at 110+ degrees, so driving it right now doesn't really happen much. In addition to that, these H1's run super hot (water temp wise) and they do not like that 110+ degree weather at all for extended running times.. Will be a fun ride in about 2 months when it starts to cool down in AZ.. I will post pictures of everything the week after next.. Will also post the performance stuff I do to each and what the impressions of the mods are..
  7. Thanks guys, good to be back and see that the "veterans" are still around.. Yeah, pretty unique assortment of cars, but that's why I purchased them (they are all very different).. Haven't driven a Lambo since selling my 08 white Superleggera 2010 and I know Lambos have changed a lot since then.. Was thinking about maybe the McLaren 12C (haven't driven that either), but just have always loved my Lambo's from the past.. Need to go drive both and see what they are all about.. This will be the last car I buy for a while again, kind of overdid it just a tad the last few weeks.. Excited to get the Porsche back from EVOMS.. It is a white/black 997tt tiptronic with a full Vorstiener carbon body kit, Brembo Ceramic Brakes, Forged Black Wheels, rebuilt transmission, ect that was built and tuned by BBI in Orange County.. It was there 900hp package (with Tial Alpha 3076 Turbos) that ran 10.1 @ 143mph, but EVOMS has always done my prior Porsches and they are local so they wiped the tuning (kept all of the bolt on in tact) and custom tuned the car for 91 and 100 octane as well as remapped the TCU file.. Excited to pick it up next Friday when I get back from vacation, have only driven it 2 times since buying it and it was on the lowest boost setting (16psi).. On a side note, never was a big Ferrari fan in the past, BUT I really like the 599 I purchased... Being a big guy (6'6 @ 290lbs), I have room and fit actually pretty well in it.. The car just feels solid and was built very well.. Pretty quick to my surprise and sounds good and such a good bargain for 1/2 the original MSRP..
  8. Been a LONG time since I have been around or doing any posting, but my business work load has softened and I have a LOT more time on my hands now.. Took the last 4 years to build another Merchant Services company from scratch and it is finally running on "auto pilot" which means I have a life once again to do a lot of things including post, buy / enjoy cars once again and travel.. Hope everyone is well, I have a LOT of old post to read and catch up on... Been on a car buying spree the last 2 weeks and need to complete the new list with another Lambo... Haven't really had enough seat time in any of the new cars to give any solid opinions or feedback, but I will be posting my experiences / thoughts on each when I get back from vacation and have more time to drive them... So far, have purchased the following over the last 2 weeks (REALLY like the 599 so far...) Ferrari 599 Audi R8 V10 Porsche 997 V-RT900 (currently being retuned by EVOMS with the 850R package) Bentley Supersports Maserati GranTurismo Hummer H1 Mercedes CLS63 Will be sending the 599, Audi and Bentley to EVOMS next month for tunes & exhaust.. Should be interesting what each adds as far as power & sound.. I will post videos and dyno graphs for anyone interested..
  9. Just bought one ine Vegas last week to wear for a daily watch. Love it.
  10. I still have copies of everything and will try to dig it all up and send to U... Yeah, the car is is in really good shape.. It was handwashed profesionaly 1-2 times a week and a full detail once a month.
  11. Yup - Its your car! The dealership may have taken the tint off the tail-lights before selling to you? Yes, the car has balls to it... This was done only 4 weeks after purchasing the car and it continued to wake up as more miles were put on the car... The clutch is so new becuase this was the ONLY time I ever did the power launches when I was with Tony & Allan on this particular Saturday.. I babied that car and barley ever drove it... Yes, I have the Dyno sheets for it somewhere? I will look for them and send to you.. Also, the service was up to date when I traded it in.. No paint or body work! Always serviced at a Lambo Dealership. They gave you all of the books, manuals, Nav CD and car cover right? EVERYTHING was in the car when I traded it in including the Dyno sheets, Receipts, Paperwork & Original Window Sticker...
