What should i ask for??

[URUGUAYAN_FASTBACK]

Hi guys!! Well.. i´m here all wondering about what to do...

As most of you know, i have my De Luxe Marti Report since February... the version they send you over the mail...

The original copy never came, and they sent it twice already so now after talking the guys up a lot, i manage they to send me a third copy attaching with some new document order i have to get...

The thing is they send me my report if i order them something else and they´ll send it via USPS Express mail that is the safest way to do that...

A nice lady, Marlene from Martiauto, told me into the Eminger Invoice, that is the best, most complete document i can get about my car... well.. That´s ok but now i´ve seen some of you guys have some other sheets in the typical Marti format that shows a lot of good details about the cars... I don´t know if the Eminger Invoice includes everything that is there to know about my car, but before placing the order in Marti, i wanted to ask you guys what´s the best, most complete document i can get from those guys and which one worth the money...

The Eminger Invoice is a great thing because is the original factory paper that ford did but is it informative? is it complete?? Is this Invoice what you guys are getting that tells you the specs of your car and the quantity of cars produced with that optioning??

Well... here i´m placing you my De luxe report.. this is the only data i have of my car so.. if you were me (with looooow budget) what else would you order?

Eminger invoice is a magnificent historical document if it's available for your car, and it should show every option and it's price on it. But it's a bit of a worry if items are going missing in the mail, because if the invoice goes missing you are never ever going to get an original again (I do think Marti does keep copies of the Eminger invoices when he sends them though)

That was what this Marlene girl told me, and that is why she suggested the USPS Express mail because you can actually keep track on it and it is not delivered without your signature...

What happened before is that Marti took my home adress as the delivery address and during the day, noone is home there.. Maybe the mailman came, noone was there and just left... Now Marti tells they doesn´t know which mail company delivers the packages in Uruguay so, i cant go to claim for it...

Isn´t the Eminger one old sheet of paper?? this is now what guys are posting here...

The Eminger report shows how the dealer received the car from Ford, but probably not any dealer added accessories. The Marti report will also give the statistics showing how many were made with the options matching your car.

I contacted the original dealership that sold my 73 new to see if they saved the old records. The general manager actually took an interest in researching, but told me that since the dealership had changed ownership the old records had disappeared. It may be worth a try to contact the original dealer, if you know who it is, they may have service records, invoices, etc. Good luck.

Highly recommend getting the Eminger invoice. Mine is on display in my garage. Those marks you see checking off what your car came with and the signature at the bottom is real lead pencil graphite. You can't copy that. It is as real as it gets and one of kind.

The Em invoice is nice and a definate future purchase for me but as a necessity it's on the back burner.

It would be cool to have the Eminger. If you feel safe doing Express Mail, then go for it! Someday I'll do the Marti and Eminger, but right now my cash is tied up in other car-related tasks.

Feel safe??! In Uruguay nothing makes you feel safe but that's what Marti does feel safe...

You know, i dont think the eminger is expensive... 60 bucks plus shipping i believe...

I'm still not sure that is the thing i'm looking for from Marti... I just want to know every detail i can about the car...

Nobody comment in here, those Marti posted here in our forum with 2 Or 3 sheets of paper...

Well... Today i spent a couple of hours at the post office in the EMS sector... Aparently Marti send their stuff vía the regular post in Uruguay, which means it is untrackable without a shipping number...

The post office guys told me i should order everything vía the EMS and that is safe...

Envelopes and little packs are piece the cake and for mote than 2 kilos boxes Or mire than 50 dollars bills, the custom has to intervine...

They charge 60% of the Bill + shipping of taxes if the hole sume doesnt go over 100 bucks... If it does, you have to find a custom lawyer to make soné burocratic stuff and of course, charge you for his services, je!!

Bottom line, everything vía certified EMS Or nothing and fingers crossed all the time... And from here, i'm restoring this little but loved car! Je
