Re: $8K a fair price for a 2011 Black and White?

Cheapest I have seen for a 2011 black and white from a dealer was $6,000 US with 117K miles about 1 year ago. He talked them down from $8k because the interior was missing a few pieces and the car was a bit rough. Yours sounds a bit better in every regard so $8K is not out of the question. But try $...

2012 Upper Radiator Mounts - Picture request

So someone over at the G8 boards needs new upper radiator mounts and saw the caprice ones are much cheaper. Later found out there was a redesign of the mounts for 2012 model year. the brackets they slide into stayed the same so they will mount into the old ones but I am wondering what has changed in...

Re: Caprice 9C1/SS compatability

Thinking about the new SS's with the electronic button I thought one way you could covert it a bit easier is to switch to a universal parking brake motor used by many handicapped vans (since it's hard for people in wheel chairs to engage a manual one) .
