RE: Burned Big Time

Hey Bill,

Here we go again.  I have to agree with Nina on PO's and sentimental 
journeys.  David Deutch and others have decried the practice of asking 
too much for a "classic" that sometimes turns out to be a parts car.  
Everyone on this list knows I've been questing for the *right* TD.  I 
just drove to central Pennsylvania to find a car that not only didn't 
(couldn't) run but was nothing like the pics (turns out these were 13 
years old).  The guy was insulted when I told him his price of $15k was 
out of line - actually ordered me off his property!  Don't feel 
bad...I've learned by experience, and no litany of right questions is 
going to elicit the right answers when the fellow is selling his baby.

Good luck to ya..I'm off this weekend to look at another overpriced 
T-series...;-)
