I don't know, should it?

I know that you are probably excited about buying your 1st seven. What is needed before you buy any car is research. At the top of the page is a search function. There is also the FAQ section. Frequently Asked Questions, it's there because this same question and other basic questions get asked over and over and over.......


The information in the FAQ's will answer all of these questions and more. If "AFTER" reading you have some very specific questions then we will try and steer you in the right direction.

Well the BEST advice I Can give you,Is if you DON'T know What to look for when you go to see the car,then Bring along Someone Who Does..This way you don't Get yourself Suckered in to buying a Lemon..POST in your Local Section..See if there is someone who Will take the Time to Go with you...Hell,I would go,but try and Get a Plane,around New Years!..Jeesh!..all booked up!..I wish you Good luck,and hopefully you get a Good Car.
