Black LSC for that girl who was looking for one

It is a issue of distance when she lives in Florida.

It is not a terribly long drive down there. I drove 850 miles for my first Mark VIII, 450 miles for my current one. Jaime drove from Connecticut to Florida for his.
 
I drove 400 to get mine if you count the train trip it was a 600 trip out there and 400 back. And I'd do it again for the right mark.
 
"new safety and emissions inspections"

Huh, how do you get new inspections, when we haven’t had that in 15 years? I might do $2000 for it.
 
3500 is a fair/good price for it if it's not beat inside and the heat works. I'm not sure how in depth the safty inspections are though.

Lights, suspension, brakes etc. Small things can fail a car here.
 
Chances are that car will not be good enough as it might have seen snow or the interior is not Black. She wants a Black on Black LSC that has never seen snow because she is worried about rust.
 
I would never travel even 5 mies for a car that has been winterized. Rust is a motha, and I want none of it. I would agree I would travel up or down state, but not out of state, unless I was looking for a late 60' early 70's Mustang or 70-73 Camaro. Other than that, nada, no way, crazy. :rolleyes:

That is just me. :D

There are enough cars here in retireville, USA to choose from. ;)


PS, or a 72 AMC Gremlin X

People thinking Virginia is in the rust belt:D

Pssst...It snows all the way to the gulf coast. Last year Atlanta, GA and parts of Mississippi and Alabama had more snow than I did. Brownsville Texas had a foot of snow a few years back on Christmas. This car was probably garaged going by the area it is in. I've driven my daily driver for 3 years and 50K miles and have zero rust anywhere at all, not a spec. My first Mark was a Florida car, had sun damaged paint and interior. Mine suffers none of that:D
 
I agree with marked8, states that far south that do get snow a couple times a year don't use salt most of the time anyway since it melts off the same day.
 
mine came from Ohio (with 59k), my dad happened to be visiting at the time I spotted the car on autotrader, he checked it out for me, his friends family drove it back to Arizona and I've had it even since
 
I drove about a mile and a half. :shifty:

Um, hey it's my very first Mark. :cool:
 
I was being a :q:q:q:q saying it the way I did. It is not snow that causes rust it is salt!!!
I guess we should be looking for cars that have never seen rain cause that is all snow is, frozen rain!!
 
How about cars that never seen air for that matter lol! Everyone wraps their mark in a bubble!!
 
Virginia gets 1" of snow and the entire state shuts down.
Snow isn't the problem in Va., it's the crappy roads and potholes.
 
i lived in northern Virginia most of my life and i can tell you rust is almost no issue. cars on the beach in Florida are real rust buckets. and a Virginia inspection is no small deal they check darn near everything.
