$200 each for Center Caps?!!!!!!!!!
 

Read the forum, WOW is all I have to say. :thumbsdown:

making arrangements to buy
 

I will likely buy next week. All seems well so far, I think the issue before was about price, not the quality of the goods. The price on this seems fair. I shall see the car next week but I dont see any issues with the quality so far, Charlie

Charlie, find out the VIN # for us would ya? And, does he have pics of the buck tags or door label? I halfway wonder if this really is a WSP commercial enforcement car - which would be pretty rare.

Just be sure to look over the car thoroughly. It's already been mentioned here....the guy does a great job of "detailing" cars he buys (including touch-up paint) and flipping them for huge profit.

It's not a coincidence that he is selling an SSP car that isn't listed on either site for sale.

Charlie

If you get the vin. I may have another autocheck report available I could run for you.

Like Mike said look the car over thoroughly. The number one thing not to do is let emotions take over when buying a car.

pictures not clear
 

Cant get close up of the door tag and buck tag in the pics. I will ask him to send vin #. I know there is a chance this is not an SSP but if not it is a good replica. As long as car is in good condition thats ok. He says he has title in his name and will drive it down for delivery. Charlie

I wasn't saying it wasn't a true SSP....more like commenting about the true condition of the car and the seller.

I will bet that it isn't as nice in person as it is in the pics. Please keep us posted, though.

It's a ssp. I think I can read the vin good enough to run a report. 1FABP40E5JF172231

This is an exact match to an 89 SSP that I remember. when I graduated UF I tried selling cars at Fountain Olds-GMC truck, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, dihatsu on the south Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando. There was a retired Hialeah cop that worked there named Al Kettner. He was a great guy and drove an SSP in these EXACT colors, 5 speed, no power equipment, etc. Just the basics. I was unaware about SSP's way back then, I just know the car hauled serious a$$. Al had the lot boy wash the car every Weds. and Sat., it always looked good. Al knew the fleet guy down at his old department and that is how he got the cars. When the 90's rolled in he ordered a Wild Strawberry red metallic SSP with titanium interior and went with power options and the auto. trans. He told me he would sell me the blue one for payoff, it had like 10k miles, he garaged it at home. I didn't know much then, had a payment on the 67 Thunderbird at the time and sucked at selling cars so had low income and couldn't get approved. He sold the car, can't remember to who, etc. and when I left the dealership in December 89 he was driving the really good looking WSR car. I lost touch with him and the car, I often think it would be neat to come across one of them though.
I have somewhere a pic of me in the dealership lot standing next to my Thunderbird. In the space behind me is the blue SSP of Al's. It is a polaroid and I will dig it out, have it scanned and post it up.
Anyway, long winded I know, but just brought back some good memories.
