Can anyone help me? My dealer friend is out of the country, thanks

I am looking to buy this Mercedes s500 and need a carfax. Can anyone help me? Thanks! WDBNG75J6YA032693

think what you want - was just looking for ideas is all - I am as cheap as they come when it comes to buying anything, If I can save $5 I will, just the way I have always been. Some of the richest guys I know who make 5-10+ million a year clip coupons to save $.40 at the grocery store etc.

I totally understand what your saying about the prowler... but you could easily say Ferrari is the most ridiculous car of all time as well when it comes to cost of ownership and maint. schedule etc. Prowler has the looks, but maybe not the guts.

I was just giving examples... I am on my second 360 and used to have a 2002 Murci - the prowler not so much but border-line exotic, gets way more attention then the 360 and it's not even close. I am sure there are lots of peole out there doing the same as me.

I list them right away at retail.. sometimes it takes me a year or two to sell if I am trying to make a profit. And if I really want to dump it, I just drop the price to around wholesale...

Everyone loves the prowler, probably the best bang for the buck if your looking for something exotic looking, easy to drive, rain, snow, or shine, and cheap to buy and maintain.

Buy at wholesale or below and sell at retail. I have done this with multiple Nsx's, Prowlers, Vipers, Ferrari. I just picked up a 99' Ferrari 360 for $54k with 14k on it, all service done, perfect condition, I could probably drive this car for 4-5 years and break even or make a few bucks. Just bought a 99' Prowler for 19k last fall with 9k miles on it, perfect condition.. could probably drive that for the next 10 years and not lose a dime when I sell it. I have even bought a vehicle for my business from a dealership, drove it for over a 100k more miles over 3 years and sold it for more then I originally paid. - this was a regular pick up tho If I'm not getting a steal on the car I just won't buy it

The idea popped in my head - thought it was a valid question, bash if you want to bash - What about a new company that opens and buys one vehicle? With just about every car I have ever bought I list on autotrader asap - I generally buy vehicles and drive them for a year or two or three and sell them for more money or break even, so why not? Why couldn't you buy one, sell etc. you have to start somewhere right? Some of the biggest companies started with a truck load etc.

What if you start a business and in the what your business will be doing section you list: selling pots and pans (random) and automotive sales Therefore you can actually do a few different things, buy whatever vehicle you want, list it on autotrader etc. drive it, write it off, sell it, whatever… Thoughts?

Why exactly was wrong with the 65k and 53k ones for them to go at those prices?

I have seen a few posts here and their on different forums of Murcielago's going for 80k to 100k at auctions etc. Does anyone have real examples? year/mileage/condition etc.?

Anyone know how to flip exotics just for yourself without getting a dealer license? Have been looking into this as I like to get in and out of cars and always try to buy at wholesale, but would be nice to be able to buy at wholesale 100% of the time and avoid high taxes etc. Anyone here doing this or can give me some knowledge?

I have done some searching and I know things change and more options become available.. Who has the best kit at the best price? did see this in another thread.. where can I get details on the "used FACTORY OEM" front and rear bumpers and scoops for the rockers from Premier? and tinted the tail-lights makes sense to me.. =========== The easiest way seems to be to source used FACTORY OEM front and rear bumpers and get the scoops for the rockers from Premier. As far as the lights go, I would just tint the factory murci lights rather than install the LP lights. If you go that route then all the mods are reversable without having to paint or do any body work. There's also the matter of the mirrors, does anyone know what LP mirrors cost?
