It's no thoroughbred... (Woot! Pg. 5)

I cant believe everyone is so blah on the color!!!! Its not a very common color, IIRC, and is a much better hue of gold than on other makes. Thank god its not black, white, red, or green.

[Jrs3800]

I can't wait to see it in person...LOL... and drive it...

John those wheels might look good on the van...

I would love to see you with a nice set of chrome torque stars

[wjcollier07]

Actually Don, I was thinking the same thing on the wheels. We're definitely gonna have to work somethin' out.

Hey...I'll trade your SLE's 5 spokes for em!

I'm sure I'll be over there in the next few weeks after I can re-balance my finances and everything goes back to normal.

You'll have a PLIM waiting eh?

[sandrock]

I do

[Jrs3800]

I have Daves old PLIM sitting here as well... No need to open up that motor brad.. Keep it sealed till you sell it or we build it...lol

Yeah I am wondering how those wheels would look on the van... Those are the wheels that I have been looking for as they are close to what the stock van wheels look like.. I was also drooling at the 05 GP Curved spoke alloys...

$1400 in fees?!?!? Holy crap. Can you break down that number?

$2,894
$600 dealer fee
$400 new tag fee
$100 title/registration fee
Subtotal $3,994
+Florida 7% tax, $279.58

Total $4,273.58

Hence, $1379.58 in additional fees.

Or what I actually got it for

$2300
$600 dealer fee
$400 tag fee
$100 title registration fee
Subtotal $3400
+Tax @ 7%, $238

Total $3638

Still $1340 in fees.

[BlackHawk99]

Um, why did they charge you sales tax on the new tag fee and registration fee???

That's 100% BS. I'd be ranting over that.

[Bonneville92V688]

HOLY CRAP.

$400 tag fee
$100 title registration fee

[wjcollier07]

Since I don't have the writeup in front of me at the moment, I'm not positive if they taxed me for those fees like I laid it out, but those totals still match what the grand total was, so if they didn't tax me on them, then they still threw in more additional fees.

[Jrs3800]

John all I can say at the moment is that the state of FL has raised the registration fees, Tag fees, Title fees...

When I renew my registration on my 3 vehicles it will run me over $200 this year... Last year would have been a little over $100... If you had to have a new tag, it was $185 IIRC... That to has seen a nice healthy increase...

[repinS]

Hey Don, be glad you don't live in the Toronto city limits... renewals for three vehicles would run you $400 :sad5:

$74/year + $60 if you live in Toronto = $134 a year, per vehicle, my car is registered 10 minutes north of town, so I save that $60...

[00Beast]

Don't even ask about registration fees for all of our vehicles. I don't even know all if it......

[Bonneville92V688]

Crazy because yearly stickers here are only $34.50, replacement plates are $42 (I think), and include the sticker in the price. Our titles here are only $15, with $7.00 tax for every $100 of the purchase price.

[wjcollier07]

ITS HOME!

Finally got home after driving around, putting about 20 miles on it aimlessly.










Some good options, some lacking.





WTF is this thing? I'll soon investigate.



Damage pics









It's got some ungodly squeaking noises coming from the front wheels...I'm gonna have a technician at work check it out since I'm lacking some lifting equipment here at the house.

There are also some tour videos uploading as well. Maybe tomorrow I'll post em.

[wake]

[Gumball]
