Lol, tempting but that was the other prohibited idea I forgot to mention. She wants to find a running car that she can immediately use, not a project for me to plan with endlessly. Almost direct quote there, I think the word "No" was in there a few times.

We may also have a partial trade idea as well. A family member wants the 97 wagon, and in return will buy it off us and give us an 89 volvo 240 wagon 5-speed. This we will either partially trade towards a 300TD, or just sell to add funds to our budget for a 300TD
