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. _________________ Air does not freeze. Air does not boil.

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. _________________ How to Post Photos
