New Owner (Almost)

ndlv68 · 12-09-2010, 07:12 AM

Made a great deal with Joe from Koeppel because of research on this site. Agreed on price for an '11 touring/sport/nav/6spd and should make plans for delivery in a couple weeks or so as car is still at port. Got it in gun metallic with all the goodies except the illum kick plates. Still debating whether to sell my '03 Mach-1 in the spring and use money for upgrades if I decide to go that route. Or just FTW and keep them both! Only bad part is...I live in western NY and can't foresee driving Z any time soon even after delivery. I'll just beat up on the truck a while.

This forum is great and was able to make a decision on specific car from HOURS of researching posts. And of course, working with Joe was as easy as typing this....

KEEP THEM BOTH.

Congrats

Welcome and congrats. I admire your patience -- it's going to be a long couple of weeks

ndlv68 · 12-09-2010, 07:28 AM

Trust me...if the weather wasn't so bad up here I'd pick it up at the port myself!

Jeffblue · 12-09-2010, 07:33 AM

congrats, sounds like a sick car, what color interior?

if i was you i'd keep the truck, having a beater will allow you to keep the Z exactly how you want it. mine is my DD and i would'nt mind having a beater sometimes.

Black interior. And definitely keeping the truck. Just coming from Nebraska, I always needed a winter beater.

good call, overall car sounds sick. you can get illuminated kick plates from a bunch of places (even with different color Z lights) for like 100 bucks i think (don't quote me on that) if you decide you want them

so are you in the 5 boroughs, LI or in the hudson valley?

Just moved to the buffalo area currently in a hotel in west Seneca while house hunting. Looking at living in grand island or orchard park.

oh wow, far up there! are you picking up the car from Queens or are they delivering it to you?

ClemsonWill · 12-09-2010, 02:25 PM

Congrats on the Z! I have the same options and I love mine.

What color is your Mach 1? I know someone looking for one if you decide to sell.

ndlv68 · 12-09-2010, 04:38 PM

Torch red, no stripes, 35xxx miles, minor mods.

Thanks to everyone BTW...
