Here's the info about MT Maniac... the guy with the black LSL. Could do worse than to check some of his historic posts... see what problems he's had with the car since he registered.

Looks good at first glance;

1. Tranny rebuilt and still under warranty? Could potentially be good.
2. Miles are pretty low for a 92... not bad.
3. The '97 style grill looks nice... not so sure about the corner trim though
3. Pearlys are purty...

Now, my knee-jerk reaction though contains a lot of caveats and unanswered questions;

1. Was the tranny rebuilt by a reputable shop? Is the warranty even worth the paper it's written on?
2. The seller got some information wrong: 260hp??? Please! LSI? It was an LSL in '92... don't think there WAS an LSi
3. Rear wheels are on backwards
4. Antenna's sticking and will probably need lubed/replaced at the earliest convenience.
5. Leather's worn... but looks decent.
6. Looking at the seller's history, looks like he/she sells quite a variety of stuff. This usually means a private seller. However, the thing that strikes me wrong about this is that a private seller should know more about their own vehicle, especially since the grille strikes me as being an enthusiast thing. Maybe that's just me being a little too paranoid... but this seems to be someone who's bought the car relatively recently in order to sell.

Just my 2c

Alright... got some new information on the Ebay car after running the VIN (I signed up for Autocheck while I was looking for a new SVX of my own)...

1. Car was last titled on 8/5/03 in NY. Looks like my theory about a recent purchase was correct! Previously titled 4/23/03. Possibly dealer titled???

2. Car's only done 7000 miles since 7/26/01!!! This might concern me a little... that's not a lot of miles in recent years. Means the car has probably been sitting.

3. 07/18/98 KINGS COUNTY, NY STATE AGENCY COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE (Case #: 84402390). However, no salvage title or anything like that... probably wasn't a REAL bad wreck.

4. I can't find any records prior to 1997. Hmmm... (this might be a limitation of Autocheck)

Hope this helps a little also!

Thumper

PS, if you want any more VINs run... just throw them my way by PM and I'll be glad to help
