Sorry about the 6000.

I have been involved in some new car purchases thru the years. They were a 1968 Buick Special convertible (V8, 3 speed manual)(ordered), a 1970 Olds Cutlass 4 door sedan (350 V8, auto tranny)(ordered), a 1971 Dodge Polara 2 door hardtop (318 V8, 3 speed auto)(bot off lot); a 1977 Chevy Caprice Classic wagon (350 V8, Turbo 350 auto trans)(bot off lot), a 1978 Chevy Malibu 4 door sedan (305 V8, turbo 200 auto trans)(bot off lot), a 1992 Ford Crown Vic (a real POS!)(ordered), a 1999 Toyota Avalon (bot off lot), and a 2001 Chevy Silverado 3500 Crew Cab dually (6.0 gasser, 4L80E tranny)(bot off lot). We put over 300k miles on the wagon. We still have the Avalon with 308k miles on it and the truck with 185k miles on it. The rag top was my sisters car. My wife bought a 1962 Rambler Classic 2 door, 6 cyl, 3 speed auto, push button tranny before we were married (ordered).
Those cars were all bought before the Internet was alive as it is now.

I have also bought some used cars thru the years. My first car was a 1954 Olds V8, two door, 4 speed hydramatic tranny, also bought thru the years a 1954 Ford (V8 auto), a 1955 Plymouth 4 door, 3 speed manual, V8; a 1960 Volvo 544 (4 cyl, 1800 cc., 2 door, 4 speed manual, 4.56 rear end, side draft carbs), a 1963 Olds Cutlass 4 door V8 auto, (the little aluminum V8), a 1958 Sunbeam Rapier, (4 cyl, 1600cc?, 1500cc?, 3 speed with electric overdrive, 2 door hardtop sedan) more to follow.
