Classic cars for sale are big business these days. There is no shortage of unscrupulous people who will take your money and vanish!

To be a knowledgeable buyer, the biggest chunk of your time will be spent in what I call the homework or prep stage. Probably 70 percent of your time will be spent studying classic car sale information, researching, and consulting with trusted friends or experts as to the authenticity and details of the car. After you have done your homework, the rest is a simple buying transaction. The more prepared a buyer, the smoother and faster the transaction.

What this means is you will need to invest the necessary time and money to thoroughly research what you are buying. It is all about the preparation. The one thing that rings true is either you are going to spend the time or money to investigate your potential purchase or you hire an expert to handle the transaction for start to finish.

Three Tips to Prevent Classic Car Scams

1. Know What You Want to Purchase

The top details for clarity are knowing what you are looking for, how much you have to spend, and how far you are willing to travel. Buying a vintage classic or muscle car is an exercise in search and process of elimination. Think of yourself as a modern day Sherlock Holmes. There is no use in looking at a show car if you can realistically only afford a project car or a weekend cruiser.

Because the internet has made our world smaller, do not waste a buyer’s time if they live halfway across the country and you are only willing to buy locally.

Check the NADA price guide so you have a ballpark of what the car will cost depending on condition. If the deal is too good to be true, (Are you really going to buy a 1969 Camaro in great condition for $5000?) then it could be scam. If you contact the seller and they insist on wiring a deposit, then you will know for sure it is a scam. Guaranteed you will never see the cash again!

2. Research Your Vehicle

Buying a classic car has become serious business. Classic cars for sale are now selling for what I paid for my first house. Would you buy a house with out having a house inspection? Probably not. The same goes with buying a muscle car for sale. Do your research. Get as much information as you can about the make, model, and year, and options of the car. The more educated you are about the car, the better you can negotiate if needed. And it also indicates to the seller that you know what you are talking about.

The internet makes it easy to do research. Join a forum that is focused on the type of car you are looking to buy. I know serious car collectors who will not buy a car unless they bring in an expert or guru to look at it first. If it is good enough for them, it is probably an idea you may want to consider. There nothing wrong about not knowing everything about a car. You definitely want to avoid paying for what looks like a highly desirable car only to find out that it is a clone.

Many people have saved themselves thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars just by paying an expert to inspect and document a car. If the car is extremely desirable and rare, the old adage of you can pay me now, or you can pay me later applies. Either hire an expert, or talk with someone you trust who can help you look at the car. Online car forums and clubs are great resources for this type of information.

3) Make Sure All Your Questions Get Answered

Do not be afraid to ask questions. Having clarity gives you the confidence to make a buying decision. This serves many purposes. Before you physically look at the car, contact the seller and ask the important questions.

Here are a number of key questions to ask the seller even if the details are not mentioned in the ad (This can double check the seller’s credibility that they really do know the details about their car). I find asking questions in categories is useful in organizing the information.

Engine, Drive Train, Options

* What is original to the car? (Engine, transmission, differential)
* Drive train specs (hp, engine size, rear axle ratio, transmission type)
* Options – A/C PS, PB, Vinyl roof, trim packages
* How does it run?

Body and Interior

* Interior color and condition?
* Body panels original, any accidents, frame damage, paint and body panel condition?
* Currently inspected and roadworthy or project restoration car?
* Mileage and any known mechanical problems?

Title and Price

* Does the car have a “clean” title?
* What is the asking price or at least a ballpark figure

How does it look?

* Can you get detailed digital pictures? If so, get A LOT so you can see every detail.
* Send to experts or post on a forum for opinions. The seller may think the car is all original, but may not know. An expert can spot the obvious.

Logistics

* Will they allow you to bring in an expert, or independent third party to
inspect and verify the car (If not, RUN from the deal. Do not walk)?
* Is there a place locally where you could arrange to put the car up on
a lift and do a visual and physical inspection?

This may sound like a lot of work, but it is fundamental for a solid transaction where you get exactly what you want.

The best piece of advice I can offer is to remember you are in control of the
transaction. If there is something that does not feel right about the car or the seller or anything related to the transaction, let it go. This includes being pressured by a seller to make a quick decision. If a deal is going to work, it needs to be natural and a win-win situation for both parties. There is normally something fishy going on, if a seller starts to hard close a deal. There is no use in trying to force a deal to work from either party.

We all have our own favourite make or model of car, whether it’s a souped-up sports car or a vintage classic. Many enthusiasts will spend hundreds, even thousands of pounds on maintaining and improving their vehicles.

Classic car enthusiasts pride themselves on maintaining older cars, working diligently to restore the vehicle to its former glory before driving them to ‘rallies’ in order to show them off and talk shop with fellow car enthusiasts.

Depending on the make and model of your chosen vehicle, finding spare parts and affordable car insurance can be a difficult business. With modern cars, stockists exist everywhere from the high street to online superstores – which sell everything from air fresheners to alloy wheels.

When searching for vintage car parts, however, your search may be limited, but knowing where to look can bring great results, allowing you to find the parts you need to help restore the vehicle to its original state. However, nowadays it can be worth looking to the Internet for such information, for many enthusiasts set up their own websites in order to show off photos of their cars, but also to post handy step-by-step guides on a wide variety of restoration jobs and may even offer spare parts for sale.

This can be very helpful in your quest for advice about your chosen vehicle, and can also help to put you in touch with other enthusiasts – who could offer a wide range of valuable information about finding spare parts and insurance. Finding cheap car insurance for such vehicles can also be a frustrating, not to mention expensive process.

There are a few companies which offer specialist cover for vintage and classic cars, so it’s best to shop around for quotes before deciding on one in particular. Indeed, as more enthusiasts make use of the World Wide Web in order to sell parts and offer advice, many are also turning to the internet in order to find affordable quotes on their classic car insurance.

These specialist providers will usually take into account the age and make of the vehicle. Many enthusiasts will only use their vehicles for the purposes of rallies and car shows, rather than using them as an everyday car – mostly due to their lower speeds, road worthiness and rarity – however the vehicles are still required to be insured, even if the vehicles are only going to be used occasionally.

Why? Over 80 million Americans have bad credit, but most will need their credit fixed in order to finance a home, a car, get better job offers, pay lower car insurance rates… it’s a fact of modern life that credit has become important. As the economy worsens, more people need the service.

One common mistake people make when planning to open a credit repair business is to think it’s all about the software. That’s like thinking the success of a fast-food hamburger restaurant is just about the recipe for their hamburgers.

When you open a credit repair business, you need a complete system – training, ongoing expert support, unlimited paralegal support, an attorney-managed system for maximum results. As it is, credit restoration is not an exact science. Will you be the market expert and clear choice for referral partners? There’s not much profit in being 2nd best – so when you open a credit repair business, be sure to consider: are you committed to making this work?

When you open a credit repair business, clients will look for you to be the expert they can count on. A software system alone would never deliver this – credit repair is simply too complex. Most commonly, professionals who open a credit repair business will develop relationships with real estate, mortgage, auto loan professionals, as well as businesses who depend on consumer credit, such as jewelry and furniture or colleges. These businesses depend on their clients having access to attractive financing.

Another common mistake people make when they open a credit repair business is to not budget for marketing. Once you open a credit repair business and it’s running, you’ll work to develop marketing systems that consistently produce profit. If you made $20 for every $10 you spent, how much money would you want to spend? Obviously as much as you can. Investing into your future to open a credit repair business may be the vehicle you’re looking for to help reach your financial goals.

The biggest reason people open a credit repair business is to develop a vehicle for success that can take them past the $100,000 per month mark. Everyone’s success varies by personal talent, resources, and work, but the potential is there. Having seen many entrepreneurs open a credit repair business, here are some of the common mistakes I can pass along and help you avoid.

First, some entrepreneurs don’t get sufficient liftoff in their business because they fall into a roller-coaster of marketing, then getting busy with files and operations, which then leads to them not marketing, which results in decreased business, which then frees up time for more marketing. This creates a very inconsistent income and can be easily avoided by either separating roles if you have a partner, or by time-blocking and scheduling marketing activities.

Another common mistake is not actively cultivating referral sources. There are many professionals who depend on having clients with good credit, including real estate agents and car dealers. These people constantly see a stream of people who need your services. That said, it may take some repetition to develop these sources into a stream of business via marketing, in-person contact, and getting that all-important first client from them.

One other area that’s not a mistake per se but an overlooked opportunity is marketing relationships online. There are many websites who will pay for leads of people with good credit (be sure to get a client’s permission for this), and upstream opportunities for an online equivalent of these traditional referral sources.

There are no shortages of websites that show classic cars for sale. Between private seller classified ads, classic car dealer ads, auto auction ads, it can be almost overwhelming.

Where do you start? Here are some tips that will help sort through the process.

First, zero in on what car you are looking for, or at least in a range of years. For example, before I bought my “62 Corvette, I was looking between 1958 and 1962. That narrowed the field. Then after some time I decided I wanted the “62, and it got a lot easier!

Next, you need to know what condition of car you want. Show car, project car, solid driver, etc. Formal ratings range from Excellent to Parts Car, and each is priced accordingly.

So, if you want a “good” condition 1967 GTO convertible you would be getting a car that probably needed some work, mostly minor, had been either well maintained or had a decent restoration at some time (not recent). The car as it exists would be a solid driver and probably not too hard to get into “Very Good Condition” (near perfect, great driver).

With this information, next go to some of the many dedicated vehicle sites – just type in 1967 Pontiac GTO in Google and start reading. Once such site is http://www.gtoalley.com/. Tons of information on the standard options, VIN number decoding and things you should now.

Many of these sites have books for sale that have great detailed information that a lot of professionals don’t even know. Pick up one or two. It will be money well spent.

Based on the above, you are now armed and marvelous, as they say. You should have an idea form the various price guides what the relative values are for your car. If you have not posted on any forums looking for your car, now is a good time to start. You’ll get some good information.

The next decision is how far geographically you will search for your car. Some will only look in their back yard; others have no problems with distance. Decide your preferences and plan accordingly.

If you find a listing from a private seller, rejection is your friend. Sounds odd, but you need to quality him / her as a legitimate seller quickly or move on.

• How much do they know about the car? You should be armed with VIN, Trim Tag and rear axel numbers so you can quickly determine how original the car is – or that the seller really doesn’t know.

• Do you have a lot of pictures that show detail? If not, then ask for more. If the seller hedges, then they may not actually have the car. Digital cameras are cheap and there is no reason why several more can be taken. Their version of “good” may not be the same as Hemmings Motor News.

• Does the seller have the proper documentation and authentication? For example, GM cars had Protecto-o-Plates, a metal credit card like plate glued into the Owners manual with VIN, Trim Tag & Drive train Decoding. When the car was taken in for service, the dealership would take an impression. How can they prove the car is authentic?

• If the seller wants a deposit or he will sell the car to someone else, then that’s a red flag for me anyway. I understand having skin in the game, but sending someone a few hundred or thousand dollars site unseen is not realistic. If they car seems okay, then agree to have it inspected. Once you get the inspection, you can make a decision. First, you’ll know that the seller really has the car! Second, you’ll know what it is worth. It may cost $200 for you to walk, but better than buying the wrong car.

• When contacting dealers, go through the same questions. They should have all the information at their finger tips. Once thing to realize is that many dealers purposefully do not update their inventory. They may show your car for sale and when you call – oops – it’ sold. They will offer to find one for you though. Your call. If you get a good feel it may be worth it. DO NOT enter into any exclusive agreement where you are obligated. Bad idea.

• If using ebay – all the above applies. There are scams everywhere and you need to be careful.

Don’t want to spend the time dealing with the flakes and scammers? Let Your Dream Car Finder do the heavy lifting. We know cars, where they are, and can find and deliver your car to you with no hassles.

A cleaning environment is one where the pollution of the past is remediated and cleaned with time to remove existing historic risk to the environment and public health. A cleaning environment implies a return of the natural endemic local ecology, and is an ideal to strive for.

We need to create a cleaning environment if our marvels of science and technology are going to be matched, and not outweighed, by many current tragedies, including human starvation in some parts of the world and extinction of other life forms. Global warming is taking place and is an increase in the Earth\’s average temperature. This, in turn, causes climate changes. Global warming also could cause droughts and disrupt agriculture.

A cleaning environment means not despoiling the remaining parts of the world which are still undeveloped. Globally, indigenous people inhabit areas with some of the highest remaining biodiversity on the planet and are actively being engaged as partners in biodiversity conservation. Issues of sustainable development, resource management and ecological restoration all include native stakeholders. Global harmony is possible, yet confrontations take place more often than meaningful dialogues for peace. Our science and technology has done much good, but if we are not careful its unimagined polluting effects will be matched, if not outweighed, by the many, including depletion of resources which is destroying the possibility for people to bring up children in a clean environment.

In some parts of the world extinction of other life-forms is growing apace. It is ironic that exploration of outer space will now only take place at the same time the earth\’s own oceans, seas, and freshwater areas while they grow increasingly polluted and their life-forms are still largely unknown and where known are probably misunderstood.

However, it is not impossible to return to a green and clean environment. Obama will soon take over the Presidency and clearly intends to take very positive action.

The world became weary that Bush would ever rein in the polluters and close the so-called grandfather loophole as the air in Texas becomes ever smoggier. Never forget though that Bush may have had his arm twisted, but he did concede that humans are causing climate change. It may have taken many a sleepless night in Bali, but his representatives did agree to draw up a post-Kyoto treaty by 2009.

In the US the general public are beginning to take on-board their profligate use of energy. Just look at recent statistics in the US for big car sales. SUV sales are down by 50%, car sales are down 50%, but small, fuel efficient cars, hybrid cars, diesel cars are up 40%.

So here we can start to shift our thinking. The US may soon start to take her place among the nations seeking a clean, or if not clean, then cleaning environment

Greenhouse emissions do not poison people, or lakes or woods, in the direct or obvious way that noxious chemicals do. But at least in the medium term, they clearly alter the earth in ways that harm the welfare of all and the poor more than the affluent.

One relatively clean energy technology cited as a possible stop-gap while renewable energy sources can be fully developed is nuclear power. It is the rich industrialized countries like France, Sweden, Japan (and many others) who are the biggest users of nuclear energy. Although new nuclear technologies reduce the problem of nuclear waste-management, and make it much more manageable, many in the west prefer to force oil-based energy use in oil-poor countries like India.

A method of cleaning technology is carbon sequestering of CO2. Carbon sequestering is obtained by chemically binding the CO2 in a material that will not dissolve in water or release CO2 with time. This eliminates the need to sequester pure CO2. IF the power generators sequester their CO2 they won’t need to buy carbon credits. Carbon credits have been called the modern day Papal indulgences for rich people. We don\’t accept hypocrisy from our preachers, they say, so I don\’t give eco-preachers an easy ride on this hypocrisy. Carbon credit administration is so bureaucratic and expensive that it is hard to justify perpetuating, on that basis alone, but in reality it will not bring us the cleaning environment we need and seek.

We talked about Nuclear energy as a part of cleaning the environment. Is it really so bad? It brings economic benefits from new jobs created to run new plants. It is like adding $500 million a year to the economy for each new plant brought on line. Nuclear currently accounts for about 20% of electricity generation in the UK. When all nuclear plants except Sizewell B in Suffolk are closed by 2020, the nuclear contribution will fall to some 4%. Many say that to burn coal would mean replacing this capacity would be a backward move and far from moving to a cleaning environment be the opposite.

Science doesn\’t reveal the best course of human actions. It gives us information that is factored into decision making. Now the decision making needs to be that of guiding the scientists away from any technologies that are not sustainable and do not promote a cleaning environment.

Chateau de Chambord was commissioned in 1510 by the young King Francois definitely an egomaniac when he was only 25 years of age, to help establish his power. He was not content with the amazing chateaux of Blois and Amboise.

He fancied a hunting lodge. Francois I spent without counting to realise his masterpiece project. He even went so far as to change the natural course of the Loire River. The chateau we see today was not completed until 1685, and by far it is the largest chateau in the Loire.

The Royal Chateau at Chambord, Loir-et-Cher, France is the most recognisable chateau in the world because of its very distinctive French Renaissance architecture that blends classical Italian structures with traditional medieval forms and a variety of towers and turrets. The roofline really is incredible.

If you’re going to visit one chateau on the Loire, it should be this one. This is solid stock. 84 staircases, 18 stories high 440 rooms, 420 feet wide, …. Inside the chateau the highlight is the double helix staircase which serves as the axis for the entire chateau, and is thought to have been designed by da Vinci.

The chateau is in the centre of a 13,000 acre wooded park and game reserve with red deer and wild boar, surrounded by a twenty mile wall. It is the largest forest park in Europe.

The castle was rarely occupied. Francois I spent barely 7 weeks at Chateau Chambord on short hunting trips. Because the chateau had been constructed for the purpose of short visits, it was not practical to stay there on a longer-term basis. The massive rooms, high ceilings and huge windows made heating a logistical nightmare. This was exacerbated by the fact that the chateau was not surrounded by a estate or a village. Other than game, there was no immediate source of food.

The end result was that all the food had to be brought in for the hunting parties which typically numbered between 2000 to 3000 people at a time. This puts catering for the extended family for the holiday season into perspective doesn’t it.

When the chateau was not inhabited it was left completely unfurnished. All of the tapestries, paintings, furniture, eating implements, were brought in especially for each hunting trip. It would have been like co-ordinating a party of two thousand odd including the royal family going camping.

This is why much of the furniture from this era was built to be disassembled in order to aid transportation. French armoires and beds all disassemble beautifully. Contrary to popular belief Ikea did not invent flat-packing.

After King Francois died, Chateau de Chambord remained unoccupied for some eighty years falling into a terrible state of decay. In 1639 Louis XIII gave it to his brother, Gaston d’Orleans who carried restoration work which was greatly needed. He saved the castle.

Louis XIV furnished the royal apartments and added a horse stable for a mere 300 horses to allow him to use the castle as a hunting lodge.

In 1930 the chateau became the property of the French Government but restoration work was not begun until a few years after World War II ended in 1945.

Obviously, this is a must see chateau. Make sure you have good pair of walking shoes, a little snack and a bottle or two of water, and a camera preferably with a fish eye lense. Park your car in the free parking lot. Try to get there before or after all the tourist buses.

Cologne is the four most populated cities in Germany. These days the city is a beautiful cultured destination with great leisure facilities, pubs and shops. However, during WWII, Cologne was heavily bombed and damaged. After years of restoration work it has been rebuilt to portray the wonderful historic Roman city it use to be.

Travelling to Cologne
Flying is the recommended choice of transport as the city has Köln/Bonn Konrad Adenauer Airport located 10km from the centre. Also, for people arriving from countries that are outside Europe, Frankfurt Airport is the closest and provides transfers for the 200km journey. Trains and large roads make it easy to get to the city via other methods.

Accommodation in Cologne
Hotels are the most popular choice of accommodation in Cologne. However, check for the festival dates as this can seriously affect the availability of rooms. Hotels are great as they offer different classes of rooms and are conveniently situated around the city.

A Brief History of Cologne
Cologne has a vast history as it is the eldest city in Germany. The city has great importance in Roman History as it is one of four sanctified cities that formed the north corner spot of the Empire.

At the beginning of the thirteenth century Cologne was renowned for being the largest fortified city in the world. However, it has been changed around a lot since then as 90% of Cologne was destroyed during WWII.

City Attractions and Sights
Since the heavy bombing in WWII, restoration efforts have seen the city burgeon into the historic Roman centre that it used to be. The Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) that was originally established in 1248 was rebuilt to its previous state. It is an important feature of the city and one of the worlds most impressive Cathedrals.

If you are interested in museums then head for the Aldstadt city’s most famous museums are such as the Museum Ludwig. For relaxation check out Claudius Spa that is found in the Rheinpark area although, you will need a car to make the journey.

Shopping in Cologne
Cologne has a great range of shops that cater for everybody’s needs. The most popular shopping areas are in the centre where there are a number of large. Other smaller streets that head out of the centre have more unique shops and indoor markets. The shopping areas are sectioned off for pedestrians, attractive and well laid out.

Food and Drink
Cologne has a great range of top quality restaurants that offer all kinds of international food. There are also numerous attractive cafes and bars as well as all takeaway options.

Did you ever think to yourself that your headlights just don’t seem as bright as they used to be? This can actually be very dangerous. Do you have those foggy, faded looking or yellowing headlights on one of your vehicles?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had this condition on my own vehicles. Growing up driving only used cars I could have used this stuff on about half the cars I’ve owned. And for used car dealers… this IS the product you need to use to brighten up that dingy looking inventory you’re holding.

I’m talking about Crystal View Chemical’s Headlight Restorer/Defogger, and it is flying off the shelves at Wal-Mart and Advance Auto Part stores right now. I am telling you now folks, this stuff is AWESOME, and it truly is a Rising Star!

There are cheaper products out there that call themselves “Headlight Restoration Systems”, but all the ones I’ve seen amount to a waste of money. Other remedies just don’t last! This is the only truly permanent solution on the market. It really doesn’t matter if you’re saving $10 on a product if you’re going to have to do it again within the year. Factor in the cost of buying that “cheaper” product again and again, along with your time to do it over, and virtually all of the other products out there cost more. A lot more!

You only have to do it one time with Crystal View’s product. It has a LIFETIME WARRANTY! That’s a pretty big claim. Being skeptical, I called the company’s Director of Marketing, Lin Ford to ask him if that’s for real. He makes no bones about it, “An enormous amount of research has been invested here… this is a permanent solution, not some buffing compound with a wax or glaze to provide temporary results like most of the other products out there. You’ve even seen them yourself. I have no problem guaranteeing this product for life!”

In fact, Crystal View’s product is the only known product of its kind that’s backed by $5,000,000 of product liability insurance. This product has been in use now for over four years by more than 2,000 automotive professionals, car dealers, police and fire departments, and tire & lube centers across America. The results speak for themselves and more information is available at their website http://MyHeadlight.com.

And yes, Lin is right, I have seen the other, cheaper, products for myself. I’ve been consulting with Crystal View Chemicals, Inc. now for over four years on logos, packaging, displays, posters, and web graphics. I could have never imagined the amount of work that someone has to go through to get a product into a retail giant like Wal-Mart or Advance Auto Parts! To get this product thru the Wal-Mart consumer laboratory with a lifetime warranty successfully is monumental. That in itself says a lot.

But they did it! And I couldn’t have been more proud myself when I heard Brenda my wife yell out, “Here it is Baby!” as we were wandering through the automotive section of the Wal-Mart Superstore located in Pensacola, Florida. And the even bigger surprise was that better than half of the bags were already gone! This just really proves to me that consumers really are not afraid of doing this kind of repair themselves.

Here are a just a few ACTUAL unsolicited comments from CV Customers…

Wow! I can SEE again! I used your product on my 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan a few days ago and now I can see to drive at night! Although the headlights look fantastic, that benefit pales in comparison to the extra light getting to the road.

Please point out to potential customers how much safer your product makes night driving. Also, point out that you don’t have to do a perfect job to make a huge difference! Thanks for saving me money, hassle and possibly for preventing a future accident! – Harold G. – Wellington, KS

Happy That I Have Good Lights Again…

I drive a Subaru and the headlights were very yellow and it was hard to see at night. It would have cost me almost $200.00 for a new headlamp assembly. My friend told me about your product and then I saw it in the store so I bought it. I have tried 3 other products before and they just made the yellow shine more. So I bought your product thinking it might be better since it had a lifetime warranty. After I completed the work on the headlights and saw that your product has really worked, I was shocked! All of my friends couldn’t believe it either. They said my car even looked better over all. I drove around for about half an hour just being happy that I have good lights again. Thank you all so much. – John D. – Glenpool, Oklahoma

Simply Amazing… Crystal View Is Truly The Best Product Ever!

I would Just Like to say THANK YOU!!!! My wife’s 2000 Dodge Intrepid has Brand New Looking Headlights THANKS to YOU! I have used Blue Magic Plastic and Plexiglas Cleaner and Meguiars Mirror Glaze Clear Plasic Cleaner and Polish with no luck or noticeable difference. Crystal View worked as labeled… Headlights look new again! Feel free to quote me. Also I have Before and After pics if you would like. Thanks Again!!

Then we received this follow-up and their pictures…

Simply Amazing! We Have tried Maguiar’s Plastic and Plexiglas Cleaner and Polish along with many other ones… None of which worked. Crystal View is Truly The Best Product Ever!

Mind you when the salesman at Advanced Auto Parts Recommended it I Laughed… but I figured, what’s another $20.00… it can’t hurt to try. Well to anyone that is skeptical… Here is the Proof… I actually spent 20 minutes total with cleanup! Thanks Again For CV!

Sincerely,

Paul & Peggy Smyth – Orange City, FL

Thank you very much for this great product… you get an A++ !

This product is the best thing that I have ever bought for my car. I own a 1997 Dodge Intrepid and no matter where I looked for used replacement headlights (e-bay or junk yards) they were either the same as mine or even worse. I didn’t want to spend the $380.00 for new ones installed.

I came across your product by chance at my nearby Wal-Mart and figured for about $20.00 I wouldn’t be out much if it didn’t work. I really had my doubts, but as I could hardly see to drive at night, I had to do something and fast. I still can’t believe my eyes when I look at my car…it’s as if the headlights are brand new!

This product is great, even better than great as it took me less than 15 minutes to do both lights, and that included cleanup! It was so simple to do that if you can read and follow simple instructions you can do it yourself and save big $$$$. I will tell anyone to buy this! – Steve R. – Machesney Park, IL

Excellent results from an “Excellent product!!!”

I wanted to send you this lil’ note to express my total satisfaction with my recent Crystal View product purchase and application success.

My son owns a 1994 Plymouth Duster just over 100K miles had really shown in the fogged and glazed over headlights. They had such a dull yellowed fade that when we had his new under-glows installed we just couldn’t put off replacement any longer…or so we’d thought. After the sticker shock of replacement we were very interested in the promo-packet I’d seen at the local Auto store (Advance Auto Xenia, Ohio 45385). The claims were a little hard to believe but for the low cost I figured I’d give it a try.

The rest is history, just like the fog on the lights. I know you already know the results but I still wanted to take the time to write and let you know of my total satisfaction. This product needs more advertising, testimonials, some way to let people know there is a proven solution to this age old problem. Most respectfully, Jeff – Dayton, Ohio

I have a 2001 BMW motorcycle that has constantly had a problem with some of the displays and gauges clouding as a result of exposure to the elements. Rather than buying a very expensive replacement gauge, I tried this product. Right now, the plastic face on the gauge looks brighter and more clear than the ones I saw on the dealer’s showroom last month. Clearing up the headlights on my 10 year old car was merely icing on the cake.

“I have already been promoting your product to my friends and colleagues. I can’t tell you how many “yellowed” or damaged lights I see on the road now.

I have attached a few pictures of the finished product including a possible poster boy for Crystal View Products. I am absolutely impressed at how well this product worked on my 2002 GTI. I only wish I had taken a before shot to make obvious the dramatic improvement. I think the differentiator in your product is in the final CV#2 solution that creates a spotless finish on the light.

I want to wish you and your staff all the very best. I will be place a testimonial on your website and I give you permission to use any of the attached photos or portion of this email to help promote your product. If you are ever in the Greenville, SC area representing your product, I would like the opportunity to say thank you in person.” -Mark G. – Greenville, SC
