I bought it, drove it back to California, and already sold it for $5000 more than I payed for it.

I’m yankin your chain but you gotta strike while the iron is hot on a good deal. If you hesitate for a second they’re gone. And remember if you get one and end up not liking it, you can always re sell it. You ain’t stuck with it.

very true.

in the last 6 months that Dan's been super tuning his minivan i done bought four a bodies and i'm *still* under his budget! and i sold one of those immediately on a "offer you can't refuse" kinda deal.

have i driven the equivalent of a cross country trip to get these cars? yes.
have i spent countless hours chasing down leads and only winding up with dead ends? yes.
have i spent a staggering amount of time and energy scouring c'list and offerup? of course.
have i driven 6 hours one way to go see something that was clearly misrepresented? also yes.

but that's part of the work; good cars don't just fall in your lap. most of the time.

if you see something that is a good deal and meets your criteria you best jump on that like a bird on a june bug, otherwise you're destined to be "no car man".
