[QUOTE="jpro, post: 16585702, member: 72690"] Only three things in life are guaranteed: 1. Death 2. Taxes 3. SVTP delivering on everything from great info like this to funnies in the NWS Pics and Vids thread So...great info and I really appreciate it. Hoping you and some others can give me your perspective on my current search. I am in the market for a 350 and I strongly prefer to buy private party.
