How much would you spend on it?

As promised... UPDATE:

As someone here has noted previously, the ad was pulled about two weeks ago, but I've been in contact with the guy since then. However, the two messages I've sent him this week were marked "Couldn't send". Why?... His account is gone.

I'm not completely shocked. I gave him my phone number early-on, so discussing the car would be easier (I'm old school)... but he never called.

Oh well. The hunt for my nasty Joe Dirt car continues.

Twas a good discussion, and I appreciate all the input.

If I am selling OR buying, I give my cell number to interested parties and ask for the others guys. I will call the guy, usually get a recording and ask him to return my call. If he does not and did not try to call me first...... then you know just tire kickers. 90% of them.

If an old car is listed on CL Marketplace and a desirable model worth the $, it can sell petty fast.
