Didn’t the last sexy auto that seduced you wind up giving you title troubles?

How about you clear that personal problem up before you go jump into another?

Does your state have a limit on the amount of cars you can buy and sell without a dealers license?

it's automatic.

A 6.9....drool. That'd be awesome. No fun though since we have stupid speed limits.

Would be a sweet car to own. Not fast by today's standards though, they run something like a 16 second quarter mile...more of a torquey cruiser. I would rather have a 6.3, they look much better.

I was considering one myself, until I looked up some parts costs for the car, like the $600+ water pump or $120+ spark plug wires, or the hydro suspension, or the (any 6.9 specific part)

I would drop the wagon like it's hot for that thing! No brainer.

Tell us what we're all dying to know...how does it DRIVE??

You know what? Wagons are a dime a dozen compared to a decently clean 6.9!! Sure would be fun to own a "Big Dawg", and you can fund needed repairs with a little future buy and sell action.......
First thing: get rid of those awful fender trim pieces!!

What’s with the car having two different state plates, front vs. rear?
Not something that would go over too well with the police around here.

That's plate is left over from the PO. the back is a dealer tag.

Roger that.

Down here, any dealer has to pull the plates before they can put a dealer tag on a car.
I guess not up there.

Cheers -
And good luck with whatever you decide.
