Tomorrow's the day
Ok, I'm home for lunch, so here's how the purchase went. I found the car for sale for $3000. I contacted the seller and went to look at it. I went to take the car for a test drive, and the battery was dead because the car had been sitting for awhile. No big deal. Got out the jumper cables and jumped it. The car ran and drove excellent. When I got back from the test drive the guy asked what we were looking to spend. I told him that I wasn't sure and asked what he'd be willing to sell it for. He said he was embarassed that it wouldn't start, so he could knock it down to $2000. Fair condition KBB value is like $5000, so I was trying not to show my excitement. I acted like I was thinking about it and then said "well, I guess we could go $2000 on it."
$1000 for a dead battery! I've been driving it today, and have had no problems with the battery. The car starts right up. I figure, if it ends up needing a battery, I can swing $100 to save $1000 on the price of the car.

sounds like a hell of a deal!!!! How many miles the beast got?
Thanks. It was a lot dirtier before I washed it. The previous owner wasn't much for cleaning it. The interior needs a good detailing.
Gotta get some new rims next spring too.
