Hi Bruce, My only beef with the description from the seller is the unclarity whether the batteries are the original pack, whether he replaced the one stinker or all of the pack as his last claim seems to say - right after his statement that the original batteries are still great. It may be that he has kept those for his solar array? Good thing to ask for clarification.

With a 209 area code cell phone with a Modesto/Stockton area prefix, they must be earning their living in the Central Valley http://goo.gl/maps/Q8TYw and now they are motivated to free up some money to focus on their new 2 acre gold-country property adventure (testing, fees, water, septic, off-the-grid, (and so much more) ... (perhaps a retirement home, or another property for them to flip-n-sell). [Side-bar/OT: For those not did not know, Sonora is at the foothills of the Gold Mother-Lode that had an explosion of population growth (~1849) with all of them digging-up, or washing-away the mountain sides for the yellow-dust (but it was the retail businesses that made the fortunes selling their wares to the miners at outrageous prices). Nearby Jamestown offers gold panning tours/guides (watch-out for claims!), many downtown building walls from those 1850's days were made with small hand made red brick (most knocked down in SF because of severe earthquakes, but I've seen similar, same era/old brick buildings still standing in Seattle, WA). Since the Sonora area is at a higher elevation, it snows/the climate&temps are colder (the seller will likely burn wood to supplement their off-the-grid-solar). http://sonoraca.com/visitsonora/ 100+ miles north is Coloma where the CA gold rush began http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutter%27s_Mill ] {brucedp.150m.com} - http://contact.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ShowAllQuestions&Sho wASQAlways=1&frm=284&iid=110998550459&ssPageName=PageAskSellerQuestion_V I&redirect=0&requested=hotquicksilver Q: Why are you selling the truck? Jan-13-13 A: I am selling this elecrtic truck because we need the cash to build/ help build our new off-grid solar house. I am hoping this will cover the soil testing needed and some of the California school building fees at $3.00 a sq ft. Triing to spend only $30.00 per SQ FT e are building it all our selves and using recycled materials as posable. We found Two wooded acres near Sonora for only $10,000 that once had a house on it. Q: Hi, what type of batteries do you have in this vehicle? are they regular car battery, deep cycle or lithium ION batteries? Tnank you Jan-11-13 A: They are new deep cycle batteries. Regular czr batteries can not handle the large draws and recharging needed for an EV. lithium ION would be a nice upgrade but they are pricy. The original bateries are still great (rated for 25,000 miles) except for one that had/has a bad cell so we just replaced them all. - - On Mon, Jan 14, 2013, at 05:26 AM, Cor van de Water wrote: > Apparently he has widende his audience and gone to Ebay. > The Q&A gives more background why he is selling (to pay for > soil testing on the acreage he bought in Sonora) > cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2009-MILES-ZX40ST/110998550459 > It is "Reserve not met" at $3050, "Buy it now" at $9999, 1 day to go. - -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Send your email first class _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
