i'm not mocking the trans am, nor you going to check it out, but it's amazing how they'll spend so many dollars making the top look nice. new paint, new convertible top, spiffy interior... and the frame rails are rotting out from underneath, you have to be careful where you step or you'll be big pimping flintstones' style...

i saw one yesterday that the guy had listed for 40. i ended up offering him 12,5 and he got all bent outta shape. i told him how i saw it, and then he said something about NADA prices them out this way. that's when i really ripped into him. the high end of NADA pricing is for recently completed restorations and WELL MAINTAINED originals. not just because you went to maaco and spent $500 for them to buff it out. i had him lay on the floor next to me while i pointed out all of the dangerous rust underneath. he got it, but i don't think that will keep him from selling it to some doofus for 40k. there's a fool born every minute.

sorry, i kinda got off on a tangent there. all i am saying is make sure you check those cars out. get under, in, on - whatever you have to do to make sure it's a safe car.
