Default A free GP :) WOOHOO!

While I was making my report delivery rounds I stopped and talked to the security guard. His GP died, won't restart, and he said I could HAVE it if I wanted it. He doesn't want to sink any more money into it. Its a blue 95 with 110k miles on her.

I'll get to check the oil tomorrow and if its not chocolate milk .... SCORE!!!

To be honest I did tell him of the UIM/LIM failures the engine is prone to and that it would be about $200 to fix if he did it himself, he still wanted no part of it. I feel odd, sad that his car died and happy I might be pickinig up a steal.

awesome deal. I just drove through Syracuse. I'd stop by sunday to take a gander at the new deal, but I have to go back via elmira to stop and check on the grandparents


Let me know when you are going to work on it, maybe I'll stop out and help.

Give the guy $1 for the car to avoid tax problems.

And buy him lunch!
