Re: Buying a T'Bird

Hi Ted, I bought my car thru ebay and it turned out to be a mixed experience. A small time dealer had the car in Florida and it was pretty much as described except the climate control did not work properly and he said he had all of the books and that he would send them to me in the mail which he never did. I would highly suggest that you do a carfax report before buying any car on line even if it is low mileage. I did a carfax report on another bird that I was interested in and found out that it was in three different accidents. The one that I bought turned out to be a clean one owner......Ted D

Well Folks we made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got to FortLauderdale around 2:00 Wednesday. Picked up by the dealer- Called 'Ediron' - Mr Ed Martin on our way to the dealer - hadnt been there 10 minutes until I heard this guy say Ted Im Ed Martin! What a Great suprise and What a Great Guy! I sure like that Camera Ed your pics are much better than mine - cant even tell I dont have hair HaHa! Hey and your Merlot is Absoutley Georgious The wife Loved the color!
The dealer had our Baby in Excellent Shape Very Clean Nice Wax Job - Heck I forgot what Falling in Love was Like!
We left Ed and the salesman with the top down headed for the turnpike southbound to Key West! Believe it or not my wife and I had not been on vacation Together for at least 15 years WOWWW. Heck it was like beeing on a date with some girl I had just meet! We Honestly had a GREAT TIME
I had forgot she could actually be fun HaHa!
For those of you (if there are any) who dont have a GPS Do Not Take A Trip like this WITH OUT ONE! ! ! We had no idea where in the heck we were in South Miami the first night - Had gotten off the turnpike and Couldnt find a motel on the road we were on - Then I realized the GPS will tell us - In 2 minutes I Had about 20 motels within 10 miles - Same with restraunts Love my Garmin! ! ! ! Tooled around the Keys all day Thursday then hit Hwy-A1A up the coast all day Freiday Hilton Friday night - Hwy-A1A Again Saturday morning for about 150 miles then got serious about heading North around mid-day! Got home Sunday Night around 7:00. Went through one heck of a storm in south Georgia Saturday evening around 4:00 actually went less than 10 miles in over 2 hours - Only good news NO LEAKS!
Got just over 24mpg on I-65N avg.75mph+! Absoutley NO Issues with our new baby - WELL maybe one but it is a personal matter - my wife now claims her because I used her E-Bay account to buy Her! Oh well I will share BUT WILL dress her up MY WAY! (Cant wait to get my new exhaust - by the way HeHeHe!)
Thanks Again Folks Especially to You Ed! So glad to be a part of such a Great Group!
Sincerely
Ted & Esther Gowder
