I'm sure you'll run into someone w/ the money. Until then good luck.

Re: WTB: Cheap beater 4cyl car.
"Fair" condition means that the vehicle has some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in reasonable running condition. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional. The tires may need to be replaced. There may be some repairable rust damage.
I've had numerous people (in real life and on-line) either tell me it's priced too high or that I could get more for it. I know what number I want for it, and I agree with you that someone will eventually come along with that amount.

Re: WTB: Cheap beater 4cyl car.
I may be heading that way on Wednesday (possibly Friday), so I can even deliver it to you at no cost to save you the trip if need be. Well, you'd have to meet me in Euless, where I pick up my new car.
And Ford wants to buy your motorcycle, and he's one of my best friends, so this might work out.
