...so sorry I couldnt respond in a minutes time. I actually was doing something productive to earn income. Which detained my availablity to repond to this. Which actually isn't worth reposnding to. Come back with something with a bit more substance for me to work with.
Ah well, not trying to make a sale for the dealership. In all honesty, I don't care if they ever sell it. Just letting you know that my old car isn't in as bad a shape as I claimed it was, especially now that the dealership has it. Might do you good to look at it. When I checked the listing online (it's not there anymore for some reason, though the car is still on the lot) the price was listed just over 24 and I know they are flexible considering my truck was originally listed for almost 38, talked them down to 34.5 and ended up getting it for 31. Hee hee.
Worth a shot just to look at since it's only in Westboro, no?
Oh, and hai everyone!

how much is the lowest price you ask for this vehicle? I do not know if you know that the price listed for this vehicles on Kelly Blue Book is based on the engine condition mostly. This vehicles are barely found now a days since they are consider very old vehicles. If you go to a junk yard auto parts to find one, they tell you that these cars most of the times go straight to the trash machine because they are too old and nobody bothers to look for them. The parts? SUPER EXPENSIVE! Only the transmission switch is $385.00 dollars, can you imagine? When these cars are over 120k is when the engine starts leaking oil and sometimes very bad. For me, I had a 1992 and I paid $800 for it thinking I could fix it but with this economy, I could never get it registered and I do not think I would be able to fix it since the cost of maintenance is way too high and I can show you prove of that, but I am quite sure you know what I am talking about. The owner before me spend over $3000 together in a period of time of 2 years and they were never able to get it inspected and still missing things to be replaced. The leak of oil is what makes the catalytic to failure since the emissions cannot be filtered properly due to the presence of oil in it. To fix this vehicle would cost around $1500 minimum ($80hr labor +/-), depending on what has to be done in order to get it inspected, since not everybody knows how to do mechanics on this foreign vehicles, unless you know someone that can fix it for cheap. These mufflers are super expensive also and the catalytic, each of them are over $80 dollars (Universal) minimum. In addition you have to think about all the paper work related to it that has to be done. A car can always be in good running condition but that does not means the car can be inspected, right? I can give you $400 for it "as is" after taking a look at it to see if I can fix it. I think you have nothing to lose since you are getting rid of it so let me know please what you think of my offer. What you say?
