Well, one thing to be careful of is the problems the "new" one had. I recently did sorta the same thing, wached out for the problems I have seen before, but have a whole new set of problems on my plate again. New car, new problems.

you can always use the parts from your old ride to fix the problems with the new ride,,, provided of course you have the space for storage.

Is this your budget cap? Or is it just a great deal on a good car?

PBI is a must. WHat makes her "a beauty"?

Anything you know about her that makes her a dog?
