I was actively looking and wanted it for myself, would have paid more than asking, and would have it running and driving by now. To see it stripped of a few parts and marked up 4+X is quite a statement. |

Seems like such a foreign and sad concept to me.. paying for necessary surgery.

Welcome to the USA.
He could even mean his part of the cost needs a large payment.
Don't bother calling junkyards in PA.
Unless they just showed up this week, they are gone from the weather.
