Fair enough, I bought my coupe in a lot worse shape than this(100
bucks, with a blown head gasket and rally ragged aroung the edges),
and have probably put twice the cost of a decent one into it. 2 1/2
and $3k+sweat equity later it's finally getting to be a car I can
really enjoy. On the other hand for a car in decent shape, with an
unknown mileage, plus a couple known issues, I think 1500 is a decent
offer. Would i take that for my coupe? No way, I'd die laughing first.
Anyway, end of rant. I'm going down to show the little woman tonight
and make an offer, if he takes it great, if not there's always other
cars.

Brendan
