nice, what do you want for the coupe? I think the wagon fits your lifestyle a little better anyway, its hard to carry a lot of parts in a coupe.

Geez, that's twice the investment I have in my runner/driver, albeit with a little sag in the rear.

Good luck with the transaction and also look forward to some post-purchase pics!

Jack, if you're REALLY good, you'll talk him into paying YOU to haul it off . . . .

Seriously, that's great. I'll look forward to seeing it either here or at another GTG one of these days when you head back up the East coast.

I only asked the price to temper my lust for that beautiful coupe. I know I cant afford it. Good luck with the wagon. Isnt the 85 the 6 cylinder diesel? man that will make one very nice road warrior. push pull or drag it out of her yard, Im surprised you gave her this long to think about it.

I don't think so.............

I called her today and set up a time on Sat.

This is the real kicker, Someone offered her
$200 for it about 6 months ago......she said yes,
he never came back.

I could make 4X that parting it out and
never break a sweat.......IDIOT.
