, if only I wasn't saving for a house...

I want this. Bad. This was a forum member's car, and is an unbelieveable deal that will probably never come up again...

You can sleep in your car, but you sure as heck can't drive your house...

It's not just the money thing, though - it's also the "what the hell am I going to do with a fourth vehicle once I sell the house I'm in" factor. I've pretty much decided my next house will be a new build, and I'll be of "no fixed address" for a few months once the current house sells. I've only got parking for two vehicles at my parents' house where I'll be staying during the homeless transition. That means I've already got to find a place to store one of my vehicles, plus a shiznit-ton of household stuff (including a full garage full of equipment and tools).

In other words, even though moneyt isn't really an issue right now (I've got more than enough saved, but right now those savings are earmarked for a house), this car could not have come up at a worse time for me. That being said, if it's still available when I CAN swing it, it will be mine...

I'll have to amend my previous reply, then.

Part of the reason I got rid of my '86 Cougar was because of time, or lack there of, to do anything with it. It sat and sat and sat and sat and I did some work to it, then it sat and ...well, you get the point. Next thing you know, "shiznit, it's been a year and I've only got the carpeting and lights off of the car!?"

I still can't believe such a pristine virgin vehicle was bought and then thrown into the winter after 20+ years of preservation.
 
 
You posted it for sale not that long ago, wonder if it's the same owner? Maybe it will be available for a little while...

It is the same one. He was asking $3800, then $3000, then $2500, and now $2000. It'll probably sell at this price but probably not to someone who will appreciate it...
