HA! Someone talked him down! I wonder what they sold for? For 19 Metro parts cars, a fair price would have been something closer to $1900. Or $900.

Meanwhile, the guy who owns a Firefly parts car I'm interested in buying won't even tell me how much money he wants to part with it. Fanatics, the lot of us.
