Hi,

If anyone is interested there is a Blue 03 for sale at Arlington Heights Ford in the Chicago area.

I looked at it today. 161,xxx miles, body looked great (but had rain on it), interior looked new (strange) - light gray. They say that it runs perfect (yes - the would - but they don't usually BS me). The car was traded in by the original owner from new.

There are a few paint chips on the hood but apart from that I couldn't see anything. Tires are the correct sized BFG's about 50%.

I am their IT contractor so if you go there tell them I sent you!

Well, I put a deposit on this car. And need the help of the MM.net Community to have a look at it for me. I sent Tony the brit an email to see if he could look at it for me tommorrow between 2-9 the salesmans name is Chuck whom I'm dealing with. If their is anyone else in the area that could have a look, I trust your judgement after all we all have something in common MM's. Please PM me and I'll give you my phone number. Unfortunately, the said they would only honor my deposit for barely two days. They said there phone has been ringing off the hook. Can't imagine why??

Here the link to the pics:

Looks great. However, you'll need to remove that ugly dealer sticker.

Went to see it today about two o'clock.
One salesman told me there is an order written on it.
I know of one salesman that works there he was busy when I arrived.
He will give me the strait skinny tomorrow.

Sounds to me like the dealership is trying to start a bidding war.

Well A HUGE THANK YOU! out to Bradley G for going out and taking it for a test ride today. The MM.NET community is the best. I shot them an offer, and now we're doing the back and forth thing. Looking like Maybe.

After the back and forth thing, I stuck to my ground on my offer. They didn't want to move on there counter offer. So, it was a stale mate. Again, I want to thank Bradley G for looking at it for me. We all here in the community have a great perspective on how to look at MM's. The front valence is pretty rough, as well as the paint on the hood and grill area. Who knows they might call me back.
