I did see that while checking out renn last night, and thopught it was
kind of funny. The advice in that thread helped me too though.
Thanks all of y'all for the tips, and especially alordofch, a lot of
what you said was very helpful. A few things in reply to stuff you
mentioned.
1. Yes I do definitely want AC, but I can deal with missing it for a
week here or there. Living in Texas will get you accustomed to the
heat =3DP.
2. Hearing they're reliable really eases some headaches I've been
having thinking about them. I realize they require more work than new
cars, but if they are reliabile when maintained, then that's a load of
weight off.
3. Just recently I've realized that they have 5 digit odo's rather
than 6, so I bet that it's actually 155K. I am going to carfax it and
get it mechanically inspected pre-purchase though. By the way, the 83
is the one I'm seriously considering now.
4. It will be my daily driver. The thing is though, that I'm in
college, and on a pretty small campus. If it does break down then I
can walk to class and etc. I just wouldn't be able to go out. So I
won't be completely screwed if it breaks down.
Again thanks a ton y'all!
