Well, sadly I told the seller I'll not be buying the car. I sent an email and to his credit he promptly refunded my $2000 deposit.
I'm still not entirely sure this was the right decision, but when shelling out 42 large I need to feel more comfortable.

I'll keep looking. Really love the golden metallic beige, though.

This board is a great resource. I'll post some more cars as I see them and we can dissect 'em on here. Anyone with a lead on a good car let me know. I like the one is Astoria, but it's kind of far. I like the one in Austin, so if anyone is in that area and wants to check it out, that would be great.

Fred
