I certainly hope it is as nice as it looks....

Fuggitabudit.

When they write tickets to us flatlanders for "Failure to sound horn when passing in a rural area", which is the only thing they could nail me on after an accident that was 100% the fault of the other local driver (backed up by the eyewitness of two others) you don't stand a snowball's chance in hell.

Cops is cops.  Give 'em a gun and they think they have a...ah, don't get me started...

LOL...

I remember that story, Don...

There are times that you just have to walk away.  This was the case with car number two.    ::)

Glad you know when to fold 'em.  I've bought a car through Ebay, but I definitely wanted to check it out first.

Know anybody who might be interested in buying one of these?

That's the rule at our house:  Buy a vehicle, buy a repair manual....

Sorry to hear the 2nd car didn't work out.  Did you have any trouble getting out from under the bid?

I've had good luck on eBay - bought a car, a pickup and a Ducati.  No regrets on my part.  Bought the car sight unseen from a couple in Houston.  I must have done OK on the price - 6 weeks after I bought it for my youngest daughter she totalled it and the insurance settlement was for $2000 more than I paid for it!

We didn't have a problem getting out of it.  There was so many things that were not right with that car.  We did offer to purchase it for a lower price, but he said he said that he'll just relist it.  It will be interesting to see if they disclose or actually fixed the things that it needed.

Overall, we've had good luck with E-bay and it hasn't stopped us from looking for another car.
