I have non performance remorse, I should have bought it!

I could have bought this car for 3000 last week, but I dragged my feet knowing it was going to cost me 300+ to go and get it and probably another 7-1000 to go through it and make it right.

In hindsight, I don't think I have seen a straighter or more original car for the money in some time. The mileage is not accurate (odo 88K) but I don't think it has more than 100-110K. This would have been a good keeper and probably would have brought all the money once it had been properly sorted.

Hope someone else from the board got it. That or someone else looked at it and declared it unfit.

You probably screwed up on that one. But just because you did you might jump too soon on the next, stay cautious. Theres a lot of cars on the market today everyone needs money.

Rear door has a bigger and several edge dings, wheel wells have some type of chrome strip, and I never liked it when the buyer puts shiny tire stuff on. It cannot be a bigger buyers market for cars right now. Don't kick yourself. I've never paid more than $3000 for my diesels, and two of them were one owner/papered/rust free/excellent condition wagons- the second with 126K and the third a bit more.
