I was simply commenting on the fact that if you have a clean vehicle, it can still make money.

And of course, to be in the business one's vehicles have to be in great condition.

There are...

For example:

I have a 2000 ltc (10 passenger) with 140,000 miles, hardly any rust, clean interior & I can still charge$650 tax in. (4 hr wedding)

To be honest, I think you should take out option 2. I could never let my excursion go out at that price. Gas and maintenance will take away most of the money.


By taking away option 2 you...

See with me my take is 70%, reason is I have done quite a few groupons. Not with my limo company (1 is enough).But through my car wash business. But dont go for 50%, absolutely cant make any money...

Just in case some more people are looking:

Auto Parts Direct to You, sells the upgraded manifold for $185 plus shipping (free shipping in the States).

Really, what do you recommend ?

I was thinking that once my air bags went, I would replace with strutmasters...

At this point some people may suggest going to strutmaster or similar.

But best of luck.

(Sorry wasnt of much help)

I havent purchased anything from them, but Jon from thelimoagent always answers my questions.

What always gets me is the $3000 additional cost of importing.

So far the worst complaints I have heard is for A/C (not my company) though I have had
instances when the group has 10 people and the weather is about 100 degrees, complain that the A/C is not...

That looks amazing !!!

Thanks again guys, really helpful. Limojess that pic of the excursion is real nice, not to mention the other vehicles in it. Geoff, I went to the off road experts and they are currently looking...

Alright you guys got me sold on the excursion.

Cant wait to get this project started, thanks again excaliburlimo for clearing that up.

Geoff, what was the tire size you went with ?

I think I will just take your recommendation and order.

Its the small things that cause problems, but rather the small things before shelling out the big bucks.

Another local limo company has an a/c problem that the front is working cold, but the rear...

If there is a leak the compressor will be on a lot causing it to wearout faster.I do not think it can over pump an air bag.Usually how long do air bags last ?The right side of my Limo is 2 cm shorter...

Yea I was glad to finally solve the problem. Did not loose any bookings.

If anyone ever gets the following codes: P0230 and P0231 come up, replacing the relay may solve your problem.
