The last car sold for over 5k because it had zero rust, great paint, a good engine and a nice interior. At least according to the guy who was kind enough to go look at it for me.
I'm still smarting over losing it. If only I hadn't had to go out to the relatives for Easter Sunday...
That said, this one is within 60 miles of me. I've asked the guy for more info about the true condition, and if I can see it at the w/e.
