I spoke with him a few times, and had planned to drive up to LA and meet
with him,
both the time I was going to drive up there, 'twas raining, he wasn't going
to be
there until 6:30-7 pm... then he finally called me at 7:30 pm.. (would make
it at least
9:30-10 pm before I'd get there, then spend 30 minutes/hour looking at the
truck
then driving home and getting back around 1 am...) Tried to reschedule
another
time, and then I received notice from my bank that they would not give a
loan in that
amount for a used vehicle... I called him, got voice mail, and just left
him a message
that I was sorry, etc. etc.

>From what we talked about, it seemed that he was really desperate to sell
it, and
had taken very good care of it. It would be a deal someone in the area to
pickup,
just check everything out real good. The warranty is transferable, so
that's not a
big deal (plus you can purchase an extended warranty through a 3rd party as
well,
to protect your investment.)

I paid nearly $640 in registration fees for my wifes RT CC back in October,
but when
I got my RT RC earilier this month it was only $410.... Turns out that in
January registration
fees were dropped nearly 25% or more here in California (thank god!), so you
should expect
to be somewhere between those two figures.

Hope this helps,

Sam '99 RT RC (his)
         '99 RT CC (hers)
         '95 SLT CC (brother bought it!)
