If you already have to find storage for a vehicle and a bunch of stuff it shouldn't be too terribly difficult to find a place for one more car.  You could just pretend the car costs 2300 or so and put the extra 300 toward a storage unit for a few months.  I would buy it.

I think you have two choices.  Buy your dream car for a steal, or....regret not ever seeing one again that cheap (and near you) for the rest of your life.  I'd say go for it!

^^^^^^^ I agree

I found my dream car last year and could not pass it up due to the fact that I know I would never find another one like it...

Surely there's a way to get it, and make something work...sell one of the other vehicles...a nice clean 20th doesn't just drop in your lap...especially not in your area, I'd wager.

You GOTTA be able to dicker him down a little. Obviously a motivated seller...if you got it for 1500, you could definitely offload it in a hurry and break even or come out ahead just a little in case of an emergency.
