Oh yeah, and I just discovered TireRack.com
Already found the rims I'd love to get, and they're cheap too!

I also like these two also, but they're too expensive, although not by much:

These tires I found also seem pretty awesome. GREAT survey rating, good speed rating (130 mph, I think; my Aurora has the speed limiter, anyway) and they're dirt cheap! I'd get the roadside warrenty to, it seems worth $25-something dollars to be completely insured against having to replace a blown tire for a full year. Kumho'* have a pretty good reputation anyway, though, right?

That is a good color, I've actually never seen it yet "in real life". Kyle, you are absolutely MAD for this Aurora, I can tell... HOWEVER, try to stay money-smart when you call up to deal with this guy. Don't let your infatuation for the potential buy make you raise your offer substantially, especially since there are some issues to be checked out first. Just lay down your offer & terms, and give him some time to think about it if needed. I still think the tire balance and alignment should be checked by a reputable shop, given what you've told us about how it rides. Good luck!

Maybe I planned it that way, Custom :P I do actually like those wheels on your Riv, though, come to think of it. First time I saw the pick I commented to myself how good the whole package looked, especially with those sweet wheels
To address Jim, I remind you; that'* not the car I'm going to buy, just one LIKE it, exterior color-wise
My interior color is a lighter grey, I believe. My interior is also in a little nicer shape wear-wise, I believe, but a little dirtier :( But dirt cleans, so it'* okay
Paint is worse though, considerably. It'* got a host of scuffs and scrapes, not too mention the two big UV'ed-out spots on the top :( Not too bad, though, it'* all paint stuff, no body damage that I can see, minus a ding on the far right rear quarter, I believe. And that'* pretty small, almost not noticible. Besides, the thing is pretty dirty, and that serves to make the paint look worse than it probably is. I'm expecting a BIG improvement once I wash the thing
Oh yeah, and me and the guy already agreed on $3200. He'* a friend of the family, scottydl, and an honest, good guy, so I wasn't so worried about him jacking the price and taking me for a ride as I would have been had he been a stranger. My mom and dad helped me work everything out and all when I purchased my Bonne, and they helped me work out a deal with this one too. He just needs to get the tire issue resolved, then I need to have my mechanic take it for a spin and give it a good looking over. If my mechanic gives it the green light, it'* mine ![Very Happy](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Do I even NEED to say that I can't f***ing wait? I thought not :P

Oh yeah, and I think I've settled on a name for her, too
Gonna try to keep it to myself, though, until I get her. I'll post the name with the REAL pics of her ![Smile](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/smile.gif)
... lol, listening to Buddy Holly'* "Sheila" while writing this... hehe, kind of appropriate, eh? Lol, I sure would look crazy if I wasn't on a board with so many other like-minded people
I mean that in a good way, of course...
