Well, obviously with all the junk I had to do yesterday, there would have been no time to go peruse my potential money pit, and add to that the fact that the guy couldn't bring it with him Monday due to some goings-on at work that required he take his company car. But, no matter. Based on my conversations with him, and after running a Carfax report on the car, I felt okay enough about it to bid on it. I'm not the high bidder anymore, but I'm going to wait a bit longer before offering any more than what's already out there. Hubcaps can be expensive, as Miss Janis reminds us, so I have to leave myself a bit of cushion for necessary repairs and such like.
And there's also a 300D right close by in my hometown that I just noticed in the paper, and that might be an even better buy. Of course, with double the horsepower of the 240, it would have all that blinding fast acceleration and stuff that's just so show-offy.
Oh, and when you're looking for a car, it's really a pretty good idea to sign up for one of the various services such as Carfax. They might not tell you everything, but they get pretty darned close.
