Good news/bad news: I've located my 1st car (!)...

I strongly say: Try hard to buy it and never look back. What's it worth to say: Oh, it was my first car bought when i was 16 for $200 ? Whatever you pay today you will not take your money back in a little time. Memories and sentiment are not investments anyway..........they're priceless now and forever.

George;

While I agree 1,000%, I simply can not bring myself to willingly let someone hose me like that on the price. It's just not worth it, no matter how much I'd love to have the car back.

I saw that, and that car is a LOT nicer than my old one currently is.

Besides, I already called the dealers bluff in an email, so I'm sure I won't be on his Christmas card mailing list anytime soon, if you get my drift. Yes, I'm sure it cost me any chance of getting my old car back, but I just don't deal well with people trying to hose me.

Such is life, I suppose. Time to move on.
