A newbie from Duluth, MN :)

Hey guys/gals, I'm new here. I joined because I'm trying to sell my current car, a 2005 Dodge Neon SXT that I modified, and my next vehicle will be a 1983 Pontiac Trans Am Daytona edition. My dad's good friend has it and said he'd sell it to me for $5K. It's got 100,xxx miles but it's in like-new shape. The lady who owned it before the previous owner bought it new, and every single little squeak, rattle, or whatever noise she heard, she had the dealers replace and the car has every documented service records along with it. It's got an LG4 305 with a T-5 5spd transmission. I took a few pics with my camera phone:






Like I said, it's a very well maintained vehicle and it has brand new tires (I'd get some nice 18" wheels/tires down the road). He says it drives excellent and has very minimum interior noise such as rattles or squeaks (I'm sure it has a little wind noise due to the T-tops).

Anyways, I'm joining to learn more about this car so I know what I'm getting into when I buy it.
