Highly possible he might like that! LOL

It's been a wicked crazy past few years and now, I'm back where it began, working with Roy at Cats Exotics! Pretty exciting overall, reconnecting with old friends and customers, rapidly changing inventory and just a fun place for me. Looking forward to touching bases with everyone, old and new, and most of all, sharing these awesome cars with everyone!

Man I miss that car...glad it's in good hands. BTW, it's 2wd conversion, which is why the TCS is so hyperactive, so the steering would've felt a little lighter as well, especially at lower speeds. Probably one of the best Murcie's I've ever owned...super strong and still looks amazing! Thanks Josh for taking such good care of her!

The saying you get what you pay for is spot on...but seriously, who thinks they are getting a twin turbo bolt on upgrade done in 4 days? Worse yet, what shop promises such an unrealistic timeline? Unless they house several kits, which I doubt, that's next to impossible. 2 weeks isn't even realistic.
Moving on to cost...the first sign that something will fail or go terribly wrong, is when the cost is 80% less than any other shop doing the same things. 20k for a bolt on twin turbo kit...that's a used price for the hardware alone. I'm no expert but been around long enough to know what UGR is capable of and why it takes as long as it does to do the job correctly.
Sad part is, these guys will spend 3 times what a UGR system producing twice the amount of hp would have been just fixing what these guys did to these cars. Pay up front for it right or pay more to make it right. I never understood the mentality of some people...cheaper isn't better...there's a valid reason it's substantially cheaper.

I know the previous owner of this car...he takes impeccable care of his cars.
As for value, a car, no matter what it is, is only worth what someone will pay for it. Having said that, you need to compare apples to apples...you cannot compare pricing of a 97 roadster to that of a 99 roadster, they are two completely different vehicles. There are a few good examples on the market, the black one Roy has is an excellent example of a 99 roadster, I found that car for the previous owner several years ago with very low miles and it was prestine at the time and appears to be in the same condition.

Actually there is one important benefit that most people forget, and it's really important if you're dealing with exotics. On a closed end lease, you are responsible for all of the lease payments regardless of when you get out of the car. So if you signed up for a 36 month lease, made 20 payments and your financial position changes, you're still on the hook for the remaining 16 payments, plus early termination fees, mileage, etc.
On the other hand, and open end lease allows you to refinance into another lease at lease end very smoothly, usually with no penalty for mileage charges, etc. It also allows you to "sell" the car and not be responsible for the remaining lease payments. If the lease was structured correctly, you should owe about "book value" at any given point in the open ended lease. Open end leases have an amoritization schedule that mirrors that of a purchase. Additionally, open ended leases will typically go out to 60 months, which would lower your payment wherein a closed end typically goes to 36 and sometimes 48 months. (I say typically, not always.)
I've had many, many clients sell their cars under leases and actually make a little money as their payoff was reflective of a purchase and sale agreement rather than based on a flat agreed upon lease payment.
tax credits are another thing, because not all states give tax credits, not all states collect tax in the monthly payment, and many states, like texas, are what they call a tax up front state, where you pay 100% of the tax at time of purchase/lease and the credit amount is dictated by the county the car is registered in...it's kind of complicated in some states. Other states make it easy.
So the long answer is, it depends where you live on what is beneficial to you. If you think you are going to trade out of the car in 2 years then an open end lease is the way to go. If you don't mind being stuck to the car for the full lease term, then closed might work for you. Personally, I would NEVER do a closed end lease...too many variables to worry about in a market that is unpredictable.

Use caution, there was a VI LP640 at that dealer that went out on a test drive and "jumped a curb"...doing damage to I think the rear wheel/quarter. It was pulled for awhile so it could get repaired. Not reported to Carfax either. Not saying this is that car...just saying there was one with that sort of history.

I used rushmypassport.com and was very quick. Had it in like 5 days. You can get it faster though, just costs a little more. They keep you up to date pretty well with progress reports, etc. I'd give them a shot.

I have a Carbontek Carbon Fiber exhaust heat shield for 02-06 Murcielago. Nice quality and in good condition. Never been installed. PM for more details. Will try to take pics tomorrow. Make offer.

Dang, I guess I don't think I have a CGT cover either... let me know if you find an extra one
I have a Carrera GT cover for sale. OEM never used. Which is what I thought he was looking for, turns out he needs a continental gt cover, and I have the carrera gt one. If interested, let me know.

Where are you opening it? Street name? City? helps to come up with play on street/area/city names sometimes....
Central Perk in NY, yes like on Friends
Sunset Drip like Sunset Strip (of course sounds more like you'll need a shot after the coffee, but still, you get my drift)
I like Brewed Awakenings myself....
Java da Hut since Star Wars is big again
Alotta Latte is another...

Good luck getting the police to do anything. My parents had their credit stolen. The people involved even managed to put a hold on the mail coming to the house, and had it held at the post office under someone else's name in care of my mother. Fortunately, the mail carrier talked to my mother that day and told her she was supposed to hold her mail...so we got the police involved. When the people came to pick up the mail, the post office called it in as a robbery in progress...the closest police officer was a traffic cop who caught all three people involved...you'd think it would end here. Oh no. Before identifying what was happening and why he was called there, he got their info (which was all fake) and then let them go because there was no robbery. Nice huh. It gets better.
Now we had names. The police didn't do anything. Knew who the main person was...she was convicted of identity theft before...did they arrest her this time? Nope. They got 5 new iPhones, 5k in a pre-paid credit card, iPad, various walmart stuff, opened 13 new credit cards with 20k or higher credit limits, fuel cards, and fred meyer jewelry line of credit, and best buy. Oh yeah, and they opened a Bank of America checking account by depositing a washed check into the new account to get it open. We were able to intercept everything but the 5k pre paid card and the iPhones...which had new cell accounts linked to them...but AT&T won't do anything until the bill is past due...that's right...they stole the ID, charged FIVE iPhones to the account, and AT&T says it doesn't matter, they won't do a thing until the account is past due.
So...where we are, it's a misdemeanor to steal someone's identity...unless you can link that one person to THREE different people, then the police will treat it as a felony. To date, no arrests made, lifelock in place and we still get notices someone keeps trying to change account information. Stay on top of it, file a police report, although you might find the police will do little to help you in this situation.

If you want to know about the car, please feel free to message me. Sp did not do the RWD conversion, the front diff locked up on me. I put 24k of the miles on that car and I did buy it from Alex. I can tell you exactly what it needs currently.
FYI, there are no cats on the car, so not sure how that will play out for your areas smog testing, for me it wasn't a problem. The dealer doesn't know much about the car and I haven't published much about it either...other than I've driven it a lot and it's been on several runs and factory giro's.
Pm me for more info.
Thanks to Kevin at Cats.. how do I get these ugly stickers off?
