Welcome from Florida.
Perhaps you can share what you are looking for? You just never know what lies in our garage, or friends have for you. Sometimes you may have to travel for the right rig.
Happy shopping.
Charles

Welcome to the Fanatics from Western, NC. Suggest you test drive a 6-speed before you buy an automatic.

Welcome from one of the SoCal Nuts. Is that search button you are looking for the one to find info or the one to find the SSR you are looking for? For information you might try the one on the Orange tool bar at the top of the page, fourth from the right. If you click on and then the advanced search you will get a dialog screen that will allow you to search with a bit more filtering and maybe better results. Otherwise, we have a "policy" here that there are no stupid questions, but you may have to wade through some less that helpful answers because we like to have fun. Just join in.
Again, WELCOME to the family and good luck in your search for that perfect truck for you (to modify).

I take it "deep south Texas" would be Brownsville/McAllen way. Beautiful part of Texas. I've been told down there you either have a grapefruit tree or you are a grapefruit tree. Please keep us up on your SSR hunt.

Welcome!

Welcome from South Carolina!
In our experience, we had to travel to find the perfect SSR for us. (not too many around for sale here at the time) We looked at several and made three road trips before adopting our beautiful 6.0 automatic 05' Aqua Blur from Tampa, Florida (489 miles from home) on Sept. 17, 2010. Never looked back..and no regrets. We began our search on autotrader.com and went from there. We spoke to folks as far away as Ohio and New Mexico.
If I am not mistaken there is a dealership I believe it is somewhere in Texas (I believe it is a Hyundai dealer..somebody out there.. help me out with the name of the dealership "North Freeway" is it?) that stocks 10-20 SSR's for sale all the time. Might want to go there just to look at the different colors/two tones and packages offered prior to making your purchase.

Happy Hunting!

Good luck on finding your ideal SSR. If nothing good shows up locally then check out Houston. There is a Hyundai dealership here that has several in their inventory. Just another source if you need it.

I bought mine off of Ebay 5.5 years ago I am still love it.

Another welcome from Canada. I've had mine 7 years now. It was easy picking mine. Just said I wanted it loaded & just had to pick the colour....there were only 3, black, yellow or red. 2nd best move i made in my life so far. I'll be 6' under & ssr will stay in family, both boys are fighting over it now. Good luck with your search, keep checking the ssr for sale site there are a lot of fanatics here that find one & post it. When you finally circle around one take some pictures. Fanatics love pictures. Keep us posted.
