I have money saved, I did that way before I even started looking for a car. You may not believe this but I've been looking seriously for a car since last February. I don't think that I'm being overly picky about one. I'm wanting a car that doesn't need any body work what so ever and has a nice paint job. Minor interior work is okay. A V/8 car, doesn't have to be a number matching car either. p/s,a/t,a/c. They are harder to find than most people realize unless you want a project car which I don't.
