Oh well. It was a nice thought, but I guess I'll keep looking... (the listing was taken down)

I didn't notice any signs of repainting, but the hood looks slightly ajar. The passenger side of it sits up a bit. So, aside from the things that you mentioned, George, what else would y'all recommend I ask? Obviously the rear neon, about the air suspension (does it sag any after sitting)...

That was quite an endorsement, Jamie... ha! But it was just what I needed to hear. I've been weighing the pros and cons of buying it sight unseen, and having it turn into a money-pit is obviously the main con. However, one of the reasons that I'm so heavily considering a Mark VIII again is...

Oh, I'm well aware. Like I said... just wishful thinking.

haha you were actually the first person who came to kind, Jamie! Thanks anyway, though. I'm half tempted to start haggling with them and possibly buy it sight unseen, but I just know that that's not a good idea, especially with a car over a decade old. I just want so badly to believe that it is...

I've been eyeballing a Mark VIII at a dealership in Pompano Beach, but that's a bit of a hike from Richmond. I'm wondering if anybody could head over there and check it out for me. I could offer some compensation for both your time and gas expenses, I'm thinking around $50 but it's negotiable...

I haven't had one since my '97 got hit at an intersection on 16 May 2010. :(

Hey, I waited for two weeks!! I'm still looking at Mark VIIIs in the area, but nothing has come up. I had a lead on a 1996 with 27,000 original miles, but they guy turned out to be a flake and stopped answering my calls. =\

haha wow, really showing my age here (or lack thereof!) but... 2004 Mustang V6. I, unfortunately, have no pictures of it from pre-drunk driver. After that was my 1996 Mark VIII, then the 1997 Mark VIII: Aaaand now the 2001 Jaguar S-Type 4.0 I'd trade the Jag in a heartbeat to have my '97...

Yes, please.

haha don't worry, I got it done in time! Just finished my first accounting test, and I'm mad because I only got a 90 on it. Drops my class average down to a 94. :(

Neither do I, but if I ever have to have an electric car (God forbid), I'll have a soundtrack of a V8 playing on the radio probably constantly.

Well, I SHOULD be working on a paper due on Thursday, but instead... well, I'm not. haha

The fastest that I ever took either of my old Mark VIIIs up to was 110mph. I just got the Jag up to ~125mph the other day racing my dad's motorcycle (not on the highway). One of my old customers at Starbucks had a Mercedes SL55 AMG that he let me drive, but I only hit about 140mph (on the...

Spam Saves Lives I'm listening to some blues on TV and thinking about all of the homework that I really should be doing.
