9500 not too high for me I'm really desparate for a P-E-R-F-E-C-T body and the euro lights, fancy shifter, and that fancy steering wheel in addition to the general condition of that wagon.....well lets just say i'd have paid considerably more for it!! OR Look at it this way; say you find a good car for 4500 but theres a spot of rust, experience tells me that that spot will run $3000 when all is found, fixed and repainted, and you still have a repaired, not original piece of sheetmetal. well to each his own... we sailors have an unspoken code: never belittle anothers vessel for it may be the one that saves your life someday. OR: "like every woman, each mercedes has its beauty" will someone puh-LEASE stop feeding me so much corn!!
