Been watching for a car the last couple months, on Samba, CL, EBay and here. Just saw this one, and it at first blush looks like a steal. Would like to know your thoughts.
I'm hoping to see it this afternoon. Will take pics if I do. (Ad follows) -Jamie Pursuant to advice from TC and Curt, I've removed the link for now. I posted for advice, and got it :-) |

Same thing happened to me years ago. Saw one for sale, mentioned it on the world. I called the guy and he said no one had showed interest, so set up a time after work to go see it. Called again before leaving home ( about 5 hours later), it was sold. Someone from Seattle had picked it up. Don't know who, but found out later the car had numerous problems, including engine problems and bad hell hole rust. So whoever bought it saved me a lot as I didn't really know what to look for at the time.
Keep looking and buy the nicest one you can find, it WILL save you money in the long run. Tom |
