and the problem is?  that is why I was selling the trailer, to buy the boat...  no real cost...  except for fuel every once in a while..

Alex I am asking $2000 ( I paid $2200 for it last year) but would take $1800 maybe $1700 now if someone showed me the cash..

Could, but this is the second one I have broke and I am getting sick of it as a daily driver...  an aod would be nice so then if I go someplace and drink to much, the GF can drive me home...  (she cant driver 5 speed)

Congrats on selling the trailer, if that's what you really wanted to do. I don't mean to sound like a dad (although I can't help it because I am one), but if you're out of work and out of unemployment, should you be looking at buying a car for a "toy"? I guess I am an old guy, but if I was in that situation, I would be pinching every penny I had. Again, not trying to get in your business, just making an observation. Either way, good luck and I hope things turn around for you!

I say "toy"  because I am always tinkering with my daily drivers....  Which is what the SC will be....  IF it is in good shape.  the ad says it has a minor dent in the passenger side door, but my buddy says the door is pushed right in on it....  We'll see.

 If not I know where a certain blue Tbird is sitting for sale for cheap. ;)

hmmm, the more I think about this car, the more I am scared off of it...  I know they are notorious for being expensive to fix, and they arent the most reliable...  so I found something else... just waiting to see if the guy accepts my offer...
