You and ten gajillion other people, lady. And that's just Chattanooga.
I'll keep my eyes open though. $10k and under? $5k? There is "relatively inexpensive vehicle in good running order", and then there is "relatively inexpensive vehicle in good running order"...heh.

The only problem is the "good working order" part...
I've got an old (98) "hunter green" kia sephia but it needs a transmission...
Blue book says approx $1,860 for 'fair' condition.
I can find a replacement transmission for about $400.00
Avg cost to fix it (labor) would be about $300.00
it needs some cleaning...
cig burn on the passenger seat, some kid related gunk in the back seats.
...so just to rid of it I'd take $500.00
...which adds up to less than 1/2 of the blue book.
...don't know if that helps.

I noticed your avatar says "your retarded" instead of "you're retarded". That's irony right there. ;D

I have a Toyota MiniCruiser for sale, and it's in Chattanooga. Needs a tune-up.

I've got a 02' Olds Intrigue, just out of the shop getting tuned up and all that jazz, leather, heated seats, good sound system, sun roof, etc... Ready to drive home! But I can't let it go for less than $6k.

That's irony right there. ;D I'm pretty sure that's the point he's making... but to hazard or herald such things is to invite disaster in this medium. ... I have learned much since the lesson of the 90 minute monkey on my answering machine. |

90 minute monkey what?? Twas a kinder and gentler time... a time of innocence gone awry... All I can say is that thereafter I no longer owned an answering machine that would not cut off automatically after a reasonable amount of time.  |
