I got an estimate on what it would cost to remove those and $300 is the estimate I received.

but otherwise they’re not noticeable.

Larson wanted a sporty Euro or Japanese car with a
manual transmission, leather, and a sunroof for under $8,000.
Because Dr. Ron only buys clean,
tight cars for clients, this search presented a problem. 
The answer would of course be a Saab or a Volvo. (Great cars; bargains used).

"Hi Ron.  It’s Larson calling. 
Wanted to tell you that I am driving my 2005 Saab Turbo home right now. 
I absolutely love it.  It is an amazing car. 
Thank you so much for all your help, and especially for finding this great deal.

2007 Honda CR-V EX AWD, 30,000 miles, $18,990

Carrie’s last car in California was a 1980 Mercedes Diesel
with old cracked leather and a wood dashboard.
She wanted to know if it was possible to find true love
in a car a second time when she moved to the Berkshires.
She needed AWD for her mountain driveway,
hauling space for her paintings,
safety for her daughters and reliability for her lifestyle. 
Sometimes the Dr. needs to be the bearer of bad news,
so he told her "you’re done with 30 year old Mercedes diesels." 

This Honda will take care of her all through the day; 
From when it starts up on the coldest winter mornings,
to when it makes it back up her snowy driveway at the end of the day,
and in between when it uses its skid and traction control to avoid accidents.
The Honda reliability will keep Carrie out of the shop,
and it’s 100k warranty will pay for any repairs that do come up. 
Best of all, its a Honda.

We bought the car from the estate of the deceased florida man. 
His kids had driven it home to Massachusetts from the funeral. 
Much of the mileage on this car was put on during two annual round trips
between Florida and Michigan over the last 4 years. 
What does all this mean? 
Florida car + highway miles + elderly owner + Toyota quality + 100k warranty  =  Home Run for Dr. Ron.

Every one loves these things….

We bought the car used in Arizona from a couple who didn’t need it;
the husband had bought a new truck and that became his primary work vehicle.
They had only owned it for a couple months
and it still looked like it came off a dealer lot.

to a $1200 car to free up some credit card debt.

"Hello Ron,

My mother (68 yrs old) bought the car new in 2006, but she never liked
driving, so she didn’t accumulate a lot of mileage. She moved back to
her home country to retire, this spring and left the car to us to
sell. She really wanted us to buy the car off of her, but we already
have 4 cars, so we don’t need another car. We only put it on the
market now because it took forever for CT DMV to transfer the title
to us. We use it here and there whenever one of our cars in service or
what not, but it’s mostly in the garage. The car is like brand new
without exaggeration. It’s in perfect condition. I don’t think you can
find another used car that is as new as this one for this price.

Thanks,
Chika"

One Owner, 23,000 miles, $13,000.

It is in like new condition, but once Julia’s boys get into it - Watch out !!!

This car was built in April 2007 and sold in July 2007,
two months before the 08s came out.
(Its what they call a 2007 1/2 in the car business.) 
Dr. Ron calls it a 2007 5/6ths to be exact.
This is why the mileage is so low and the warranty is still alive.
Also, while other 07s were driving through slush in the harsh winter of 06/07,
this car did not yet exist.

The most fuel efficient AWD car on the road.

on secondary roads in northern Massachussetts.
So she needed great gas mileage, all wheel drive, and super reliability. 
She also needed a car that could go 25,000 miles per year for many years to come,
but not at a new car price. 
This Toyota was the answer.

6 Month Toyota Powertrain Warranty, 57,000 miles, $11,300.

2005 Toyota Matrix XR AWD. 61,000 miles. $8,500.

David the seller was a non-smoking High School science teacher in Long Island, NY. 
He delivered the car to Yotam upstate.

This car was a bargain. 
It spent its first five years in Suffolk County where there is little road salt.
It did have a dent and a cracked tail light,
but Yotam plans to load it with firewood,
and drive the dirt roads of Columbia County NY.

All-in-all this is just what the buyer wanted: 
Best fuel economy of any AWD vehicle, Toyota quality, and a bargain.

33,000 Miles, Warranty, $9,000

2005 Nissan Sentra SE-R

This is Nissan’s Race line of its bulletproof Sentra model. 
This one has a moonroof, side air bags, and an incredible Rockford Stereo.

The car spent most of its life around Atlanta and LA, so no salt, sand or snow. 
Harry drove the car 100 miles on the way  home, and said "This car is amazing. 
It must have been stored in a barn for the past 4 years. 
The engine sounds brand new. "

Six months later Harry says….

"The car is great Ron. It gets 29 mpg in town, and 33 on the Mass Pike.
And this car is super fast too.
I don’t know how Nissan tweaked the SE-R motor, but they sure did a good job."

Mariken’s 1998 Stick Impreza had 175,000 miles
and a bit of rust, but was still running strong.
She wanted a similar low mileage car to replace it for all her Berkshire driving.
Low mileage stick shift Subarus are hard to come by,
since people buy these economical cars to drive them. 
This car’s first and only owner drove the car just 8,000 miles per year,
and because the car is a 2006 1/2, the Subaru warranty is good for another 11 months.
