If I needed a parts car, I could have probably gotten this one for $ 500 as the seller was willing to take any offer, but I wasn't prepared to offer that as my objective is to get a decent vehicle that might need a bit of sorting and this car isn't the candidate for that. Interior was decent though with no rips or tears--but they just straight up lied abut the car's condition.

That is the problem with being in the "Rust Belt". I wish those rusted out cars could be sent out here to the left coast so we could have some donor engine and interior parts. Many rust free bodies get scrapped around here because of bad drivetrains and worn out interiors.
