Not a bad price-as long as it gets me back home.
Fingers crossed for me.

I wish you the best of luck... Not a bad price, but frankly, seems like a risky proposition for a pretty common car-especially so far from you. I see a few red flags in the auction description (changed crankcase breather hose, oil burning, odometer slipping) that would make me run. This car also seems to suffer from "pinkamino" seats - the outside edges of the seats turn a different color than the inner pleated section- typical here. As was suggested earlier, I would strongly consider having it shipped. Probably can be done for less than $1000 ( I had my W116 shipped from Cali for $900 - but that was 3 years ago). Consider that it will cost you $350 in fuel, 2 airline tickets, hotels and opportunity costs of your time...and that's if nothing goes wrong. If something DOES go south on your trip, who do you think you will be able to find in East Podunk AR who is going to know how to fix it? Also makes me nervous that its not his daily driver, why not?
