Turned out to be a money scam. I had an appointment set up with Mastro to go look at a SWEET ass psm they had... the guy called me ten minutes AFTER he was supposed to meet me with the car and said he sold it. 3 days I tried to get approved for another one at another dealership, but the finance company said the miles were too high, etc etc etc.
basically I gave up. If it's meant to be, it will...and I guess this isn't MY year to get one. No biggie... I will just focus on my little ricer.
I will still be at the meets
taking pictures of Chuck's mohawk.
Just keep looking everyday. It honestly took me 6 months to find my LGT and I drove all the way up to Jacksonville to buy it.
I was very picky with what I wanted though. regal blue (what I bought), black or white were the only colors I wanted; had to have black interior, FL car, under 15k miles and had to be a reasonable price. It was very hard to find considering 05 was the first year of the newest chassis.
The one I bought was the only one that fit that criteria and I bought it no more than 2 days after it popped up on autotrader!
Just keep looking, it will be worth it in the end!
