If this were in Phoenix and I could buy it for a couple hundred and pay a couple hundred to tow it home with a Penske then it might be worthwhile, or if it had a bad engine I could haul it to a junkyard, grab the good parts, and have them take the rest.

Maybe someone in the area will take advantage of this, but I am not paying $770.90 to ship it!

Nor am I driving a rental out with all of my tools and trying to fix it and driving it home.

Now we are at $1,115.90 for what? A parts car?

Hopefully the cat works, so I could claim that. The wheels are garbage. Maybe I could get a backup engine with 230,000 miles for mine with 220,000
