I don’t have a problem using a company for an escrow services, if you feel more comfortable and it’s understandable. I think is unnecessary in part because that’s the role of Autohunter.but understanding that you, the buyer is who pay for this service, is up to you ! Good luck ! P
Would you be willing to use an escrow company to insure safe transfer of pay and auto
Dear friend, I will try to answer all your questions, the gauges work perfectly including the speedometer that is really nice and accurate? The paint and upholstery are Original with some tiny nicks or chips here and there, but for a car this age, is in excellent conditions and the paint is still shine! What happened was that this car was in a museum in Arizona at Least for 15 years, that help tremendous the preservation of the car. Yes, there is a spare tire in the trunk… I enjoyed the car but I unfortunately I have Parkinson and my reality change. The car is driveable anywhere but I don’t think that is a good idea, but if you plan to go out of Florida, the only issue is the mileage of the car. I had it for three years and I drove like 1200 miles in total, but anyway is up to you…Good luck on Wednesday ! Honestly, I don’t know how hard you want the car but I guaranteed that I doubt you will see other Custom Royal D500 available to the public… good luck !
Hello. Love the car. I have a couple questions. Do the gauges and speedo work. Is there a jack and is the trunk as nice a the rest of the car? If I win the auction I may want to drive it home .The description states that the interior and paint are original. Is that true or does that mean that the paint is original color and repainted and the interior is redone in original like material with same colors? Thank you.
Dear Funkydude, you and your father have very god taste, because is true that this car is special in all terms, it’s definately a “turn head” car that drives really smooth. The reserve is protecting the investment only, it’s a little bid than half of a wheel, so somebody will be lucky, I hope it will go to the appropriate person… Thank you for the compliment !
Beautiful piece of art. My dad had one in the esrly 60s. He worked for Chrysler for 39 years, in Detroit. Would love to buy it, but with a auto business bidding on it, it will be hard to win high bid. Thanks for showing it.
@dparks – Absolutely gorgeous example of days gone by. I love this car. Wish my circumstances allowed me to bid. You won't need much luck in this one. So rare!!! ...
Thank you, your’re right. It’s very rare and luxury car running smooth like in his glory days ! Definitely One of the Kind !
