Default My Next Car! - - OR NOT!

I went down state today and on the way there i saw this car and fell in love... its a 1998 SSEi, it has 62,000 miles, Black, chrome rims, tinted windows and no problems what soever. The guy is asking 6450, but after i talked to him for about 30 min, about bonnevilles, the 3800 engines and all that other good stuff he said he would knock it down for me... so i talked it over with my mom and she said if i can find a job (i am about to lose the one i have right now) and the credit union will give me the loan and i promise to sell my car, she said she would let me get it!!!! I really really want this car it is my dream car... i wanted as close to a 99 as i could get black in color and had to have boost, but this has extras!!! I really hope everything falls into place! But knowing my luck it will sell before i can get the guy the money.

WTF? That car ain't right. Wrong front grill for starters. Wrong rims. Looks pretty beat.

I would keep on dreaming....
