Thanks so much guys! This is precisely why I put pics up and gave you all the details I have about the car. You guys have much better trained eyes than I do and while I don't see anything wrong with the front of the car, you guys catch every flaw, and I really appreciate that!
I have a mind to go to the seller and tell him that his car isn't worth $12k, and if he goes, why not? I'd reply, well, 100 people have proven that right here, and hand him this thread printed out..
But seriously, I do appreciate your efforts, and I appreciate you taking time out of your busy lives to help a young girl along...
So I've decided this morning that I would rather wait until I'm, say, 43 rather than 23, to get a car like this. Because then, I should have the time, money, and know-how to be able to restore it/fix it up properly. And then you can call me stupid, but if I bought it now, I would be immature, insane, and naiive. And by God, I don't want to have to live that down...
So with that in mind, I want to try to at least keep tabs on the car (I like everything about it-esp. the front spoiler and yes, even the BBS wheels!) find out what happens to it, where it ends up (even if it's in a junkyard lol) and then 20 years from now, if it's still around then, I'll buy it, fix it up, and then it can be my long-awaited baby.
