I have the car now,
sounds great! runs pretty good needs a tune up and a water pump for the motor and thats it.... which the guy included with the car
the interior is amazing, smooth dash, amazing seats, new carpet

I found out that the heater is by passed.... so how hard would it be to change a heater core?
yes there is a dash cover.... I dont care because I would have bought one anyways
I beleive the locks over seized on the doors...
no radio.... but I have one so it's all good
and one frame rail has a small rust hole... I can fix that
all in all I'm super happy with my new car, just a little bit of fixing

now here is the story of the trip home

I live right over the boarder (SC) under Charlotte NC, so me and a friend drove 5+ hours to pick her up. The trip was fine. when I got there I test drove, looked over, and paid the man. well we stoped by Auto zone for some 50/50 coolant just in case. My buddies truck over heated big time in the lot. turns out he blew his head gasket and a little plate on the side of his motor. we fixed the plate and added coolant. after an hour on the road a cop pulled me over for dim tail lights.... well actually 3 cops.... they ran my tag and noticed it was for my BMW I had and I had "no insurance" well I checked with allstate and the SC DMV before I left so I was perfectly fine in doing that
I had insurance for it (the cops didnt even bother to run my policy number) and just fussed at me for the wrong tag (which acording to the dmv I have a few days to get it switched over). so they called a wrecker and took her away.... $160 to get her out
I'm picking her up again tomorrow

I guess I was under the wrong impression....

 

That is absolutely ridiculous, dim tail lights is the weakest excuse I've ever heard.
Weak!

 

get this.. a game wardon called me in....

 

Ouch! Off to a fun start. And I'm sure no state allows you to put another car's plates or tags on a non-registered car.

 

I WIN told you it was a cover!!! haha. you gotta pull the dash to get in a heater core, its a chore, but aint all to bad can get it out in about an hour and its a bit easier going back in for w/e reason.

 

hope crap starts to work out for you.

 

well I have her at my place now, so all is good

 

w00t!!!

 

thats why people hate the cops, theres people out selling drugs but they have to pull you over when your just trying to move a car

 

I'll post some pictures up after I take them

 

yeah.....
