Im tired!
There isn't an area craigslist in Arizona, California, New Mexico, or Texas that doesn't have a decent driver or two or three for this kind of money. Your only a bus ride away. I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier but I've NEVER understood why rust belt guys pay more for a local car that needs a thousand hours of metal work when they are only a bus ride away from rust free drivers that go begging for buyers here and eventually end up in our scrapyards. Help save cars that deserve to be saved ! Buy out west. You'll save a ton of money and time in the long run.
