Well my job put me in the right place at the right time.. I have a customer's car that I have worked on for the last 4 yrs. The last time the car was in I actully looked the car over with the intention of getting it when she traded it in. Well It has some issue that she just wants it gone. I can get it. But Sooner than I thought (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) (This is my biggest issue right now)
I always don't like ripping apart a new car. And to make it into a race car Im going to have to change/freshen most parts anyway. My big isssue is powertrain on the car. Its a v-6 and at. So a new motor/tranny(std) and supporting hardware would have to be gotten. But its still cheaper this way(The car is free).. Then buying a v-8 car(more money) and replacing everything on that too. At this time of yr with Snow in the air, I wasnt really even thinking of doing this, and might have a problem with storing it for a bit.. Let me know what you think.. John

Yes, I took advantage of the chemical imbalance created by pregnancy to get the price down. He was under pressure. He was also about to move between states and the situation was completely to my advantage (also, he probably shouldn't have told me that I was the only person to look at the car).

...the asking price started at $10k...
