Re: 14 Caprice at dealer, they can't sell it..

Yes, I'm a small guy, and the 9C1 shifter is a very natural place for my hand to rest while driving. The "column" shifter in the dash just looks strange to me. The major difference for me is the gauges. The early design looks much simpler and cleaner to my eye. It fits better with the over...

Re: 14 Caprice at dealer, they can't sell it..

I agree, priced too high. I purchased a brand new 2014 Caprice (Black V8) just like this one with 12 miles on it for $29,000.00. This one is very clean. I'm sure they will have to come down in price quite a bit. This is the type of Caprice that you should be after, rather than the other one you pos...

Re: Salvage title

Yeah, the price is already pretty low compared to market value, and the car is incredibly nice, but I might be able to convince him to knock off a few bills on it. Maybe enough to at least get some carpet and nice wheels or something for it. At this point, I'd still readily buy the car IF it checks ...

Re: 14 Caprice at dealer, they can't sell it..

Wow, that's a nice car. The price seems pretty high though, given that it's not exactly super low miles anymore. I wonder how much wiggle room they might have.

Re: Salvage title

I guess I should have mentioned, the damage was to the front driver side. I actually did manage to find the police report for the accident. Apparently, the officer parked in the middle of a street due to a "medical emergency". Said medical emergency then caused him to press the gas pedal, ...

Re: Salvage title

So what about a vehicle that's been in a known collision, but didn't get a salvage title out of it. Is the salvage/rebuild title the line that can't be crossed, or is it body damage at all? I ask because I'm currently involved with purchasing a 2012 PPV (that the buyer claimed had a clean title and ...

Re: Searching for a low miles Caprice PPV 9C3 on the East Co

My 2014 (see ad in for sale) is close to a 9C3 except for the carpet and console. There are people on this forum that have installed the carpet and console in other 9C1s. I've had a 2011 9C1 and the 14 up interior is closer to the SS than the older ones. Would be a nice car to upgrade. Only 63K mil...

Re: Searching for a low miles Caprice PPV 9C3 on the East Co

I've seen a few 9C3s for sale over the last few months. I just need to find the right one, at the right price, in the right place. I've been working on the '73 for about a year and a half now. It was a numbers matching Formula 350, Buccaneer Red, with a little over 60k original miles. Had been sitti...

Re: Searching for a low miles Caprice PPV 9C3 on the East Co

Thanks for the link, I looked at that place before when I was prowling around the forums. I haven't been able to find any 9C3s on there though. I'd rather not do a prior service car, unless I could find one that was low miles and really well taken care of, like a constables car or something. I just ...

Searching for a low miles Caprice PPV 9C3 on the East Coast

Howdy all, I've been looking at these cars for quite a while, and I've decided that I want either one of these, or a G8 as my new daily driver. I'm really looking for a car that's low miles (less than 50-60k miles), and has never served as a police unit. I would prefer a 2011-13 9C3, but would also ...
