[s-cars] Re: A little story about a car I looked at buying this summer...Its THE car!

[chris chambers]

Well I emailed the "seller" Karl asking if he still had the car, let's
see if I get any type of reply from him.

If he still has the car I'll inform him of the mileage discrepancy, and
if he doesn't I'll ask him if how I can get in contact with the new
owner because I became a member of this wonderful S4 list and would be
happy to help the new owner get involved..


Sound good?

Chris
