Pulled the trigger!

[95GreenSHO]

First of all I am Andy and I love long walks on the beach at sunset!

I live in Northern Virginia and I just bought my 4th SHO.

A little background.

NO 1. A white automatic with all the options. I kept it for two days and returned it for NO 2.

NO 2. A green manual, no options. I bought it in Aug 1995 and I use it as a daily driver.. It has 159,000 miles on it and it is the reason I bought NO4.

NO 3. A red 1999 automatic that I bought two years ago for my daughter. After 5 days I returned it to CARFAX because I realized it was too much of a car for her. She has an ****** now.

NO 4. A Silver 2011 with less than 5000 miles, PP and 402B. It is in transit to Virginia and I absolutely can't wait. I bought it because, after joining this forum, I realized my Green Machine will not last forever.

I have convinced my wife to let me keep both of them--I will slowly try to get the Green one in better shape.

Later-great to be a member.

Welcome Andy! I happen to live three miles from a beach.

Good luck with the new (and old!) ride.

I dunno, some of us live in the same house with beaches..... :laugh_ti:

Very cool, Glad to see your keeping both of them.

Welcome!

Ok. I must admit I bought this sight unseen. I know you are thinking what a idiot I am. But I have an out. I have five days to accept the deal. My question is: What should I do during that 5 days to make sure it is a solid car? I'm thinking take it to my Ford dealer and have them check it out. Anything else?

I'm 60 miles from the "other" beach. Still too close!!

 

[95GreenSHO]

You guys are too funny!

As new as it is, I doubt there is much wrong with it. Ask them if all of the TSBs have been done on the car, and drive it for a few days.

Someone may have done what you did with your first SHO - bought it and found out they didn't like it as much as they thought.

Hey Andy, any photos of the Silver 2011?

 

[95GreenSHO]

Finally my car is here! It was transported fron California to Virginia and arrived tonight. I am going to check it out and test drive it tomorrow. I go back to work for a week on Saturday--so I will not actually purchase it till I get back on the next Saturday (12th). Then I will have 5 days to decide if I really want to keep it.
I am stoked!

Will be the forth if I keep it!

Will take pictures!

Later,

Andy

NO 3. A red 1999 automatic that I bought two years ago for my daughter. After 5 days I returned it to CARFAX because I realized it was too much of a car for her. She has an ****** now.

I think he meant CarMax.

 

[95GreenSHO]

Oops. Right. Carmax. Sorry.
