Howdy from Maine - HELP ME DECIDE!
I followed TXDarts advice and took the little dart for a test drive... it was great. 0-60 in a week and a half but smooth as glass the whole way.
I've been juggling money and by my math thought I could have the money together by Thursday (yesterday) and told the owner I'd make him an offer at that time. Well, surprise surprise, my math was off and according to my wife we wont have the money until next Wednesday.
I hung my head and called the gentleman and explained to him that although I am smitten with the car and wanted to purchase it, it was going to be a week before I had the necessary funds. I understood that cash talked and bullshit walked and that if the car was still for sale after a week that I'd be sure to give him a call.
He said he didn't need to sell it right away and would rather see the car go to someone who will appreciate the car for what it is and take care of it and he could see I would do that and to make him an offer. I did, right there over the phone and he told me I hit the nail on the head and that he would hold the car for me for a week!
So I'm pretty dang excited and keep telling myself that he meant what he said when he thought I would take care of the car and not that I'm the only sucker dumb enough to buy it! HAHAHA!
Anyhow... I need a few things right out of the gates like a new muffler, some bulbs and possible a temperature sender... but all in all I'm pretty stoked.
p.s. Anyone know where I can find windshield trim and rear window trim?
