///BHRpowered Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 So I don't really have the money, but I was just searching, because I still plan on an 01-02 silver S/gray interior someday. I have no problem going anywhere in the U.S, so naturally I ran across this beauty http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u...;standard=false Priced not that much lower then blue book, but the exact color combo and options I was looking for, with ONLY 37,000 miles, I mean lets face it, thats even less then my millenia now. Then the pictures at the end and the fine print. "Has been sitting after damage to side" even worse then that they have a pic of a dirty non male chink driving, so you know that the damage was there fault, poorly maintained, and want to hassle about price frame is toast, salvage title, both doors destroyed, rear wheel and suspension damaged beyond repair. I mean if it was 3500 or so I might consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveSter Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I live 15 minutes away from there, If you are serious I would be willing to go test drive it and inspect it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I wouldn't be serious for that price for that damage....but I think you should go look at it anyway. Worst case is you get a millenia drive out of it, with a low mileage millenia actually steve, its kind of confusing. its clearly a chink, they claim the damage has now been fixed, but that it was a "total loss" from the insurance company. if you have the time, it would be pretty cool if you could check it out for me and see whats really up and what the TRUE condition is as you know what I demand. if the damage has really been repaired in a quality manner.............I might consider it.

SteveSter Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 If I have time this weekend I may just go check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I would appreciate that, I was up half the night thinking about this, as this color combo is very very rare, but even then its the mileage, I was hoping to find one with under 75k...at nearly half and decent priced.....

Frankzao Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I am sure it has been repainted.....the new paint will not stand up to current or original specs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 this is correct, and im not happy about it, but I still need to detremine my per dollar chances. I mean low mileage, right options, 2002... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSter Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Is this going to be a DD and the jeep will just be a trail/winter truck? I wish I had a 37K Miles Milly. I have 100K more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 It will not be a DD, but more then likely it would be a semi weekly event as I don't have extra garage space and would be reduced to a cover. something like this week where I needed a strong a/c and can't be in the sun a CLS would have been used all week. it would sure as fuck not be driven in the snow though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 The decision has been made tonight at 8:30pm the Millenia's power plant will be engaged. The driving route is still being planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latinopikachu Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 lets see how accurate the tach is and i may be crazy but after hearing of war800s sp i believe any millenia can be fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSter Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 2001-02 gauge cluster cannot be messed with unless its swapped out and if BHR really wants to know he would pull up the carfax on it and it would tell you what the milage was when it was in that accident.

///BHRpowered Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I disagree you remember there was a time I was going to purchase war sp's, I'm sure the thread is somewhere on the pissbucket, I had half the paperwork done, we agreed on a price, I was going to come and see it...then he crashed it. Also the tach worked flawlessly, and when I mean flawless I mean it read 0 the entire time since the car didn't even start. Apparently 6.5 years is how long it takes for an optima redtop to go bad. I have my battery tender on it and it barely cranked over once before the lights went dim. On a related note, jesus fuck you people abuse your car. I left it outside the capsule but still in the garage for about an hour, after which there was dust, bugs were flying around - some even landing on it, wtf. Now I have to spend probably 10-15 minutes tommorrow cleaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveSter Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Wasnt able to go yesterday, thought they would be open today but apparently not. Will try to make the drive sometime during this week. Dont worry BHR I doubt the car is going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I appreciate it. I have been thinking more and more seriously about this given mileage and options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renboy Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 There's a reason the last two pics of that car were taken in a scrapyard. Buying that car will result in an endless (losing) battle with rust, and given the salvage title, you'll never be able to unload it. Fuck that thing, it's an ugly bitch with a lot of makeup.

SteveSter Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Florida cars are known to have very little rust. It would probly get more rust sitting in BHR's garage during the winter than it would down here in ther rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 100% incorrect, no rust at all sitting in the garage, moisture and oxygen. If the doors were replaced and not fixed then its not a big issue. I'm not at all worried about rust, it is in fl, with low miles, and I would instantly tackle any areas - not to mention properly driving it for its design purpose, it might be driven in rain once in awhile, but certainly never snow The reason I wait until late march to drive my millenia isn't so much the temp as waiting for all the salt to be off the roads. salvage title is an issue, I could retitle it clean but would still show up on carfax you of course assume I would ever sell it, making it a mute point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
