Great advice about the fit issues. I sat in the car this weekend and
would have to move the seat and get a smaller wheel or raise the steering
column. Owner says it is an easy job...thats why I am going to suggest
WE do it after I buy it before I take it home.
"several thousand dollars"...that is all it is going to cost me...what
else should I budget for?
