A Magic Eraser (Yes, like the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, except get the cheap ones), a little water and some elbow grease.

Not too much elbow grease. Or else you'll tear the leather. I've learned that the hard way.

I put quite a bit of muscle into my leather, although it seems like 00+ got much better leather than the AL7's did.

Be sure to use some sort of conditioner on your leather afterwards. Otherwise it's like washing your car and not waxing it, just leaving a bare surface to pick up more contamination.

I wipe my seats with meguiars leather conditioning wipes after erasing them. If I don't the seats feel rough and dry.

Well the towing company just picked up the car. I had restored the car back to its "broken" state (put the bad wheel bearing and control arm back on), in hopes that it would make the damage look worse to keep the bids lower. Took the guy over an hour to load it, he had no idea what he was doing. He had chains hooked up on the wheels to move it! He also destroyed the front bumper cover in the process. I'll be waiting for it to show up at auction.

Are you sure you didn't slip him a $20 to that?

[harofreak00]

$20 to destroy a $300 bumper cover that I could have resold if I buy the car back?

Yeah I didn't think that out right. If he "damaged" it you could buy it back cheaper at auction, But then I realized it wouldn't offset what could sell the part for in good shape.

There's my fail for today. Heh

[harofreak00]

Here's Your next flip Andrew! http://janesville.craigslist.org/cto/2323740982.html

Please?

[00Beast]

Andrew doesn't do 92-99's anymore, nor is it worth $300 in gas to go get it.

[harofreak00]

Ya, not for me. Marty maybe?

Fuel would be more then $300...1400 miles @ 12mpg @ $3.80/gal = $443 in fuel

I just called Copart to get an idea of when it will go to auction. Apparently they have to send the title in to the state and wait for it to come back before they can sell it. I believe regular MN title transfers are taking up to 9 weeks right now, so in about 2 months, it will come up... and then another few weeks for the car to be listed in view. Ridiculous.

[LouderBonneville]

let me know how that auction at copart goes ? and if anything is missing replaced when you get it back .

like floormats goone and the fuel tank drained if it was full ?

i wanted to buy a car from them but they have some bad rep ?

not only that they will probaly stick a fork lift under the car and pick it up and drop it off at the gate and charge you $30 to Crush you exhaust system

and they get the titles quick like less than a month
