   RW> and that she'd take $2500 obo for the GMC. I test drove it and it ran   
   RW> well, rode well and it had all of the immenities for a 'tow vehicle' for   
   RW> my car trailer and race-car. On top of it being a low mileage burb at

   RW> it had been well taken care of through a family friend who has a repair

   RW> works,   
   RW> nothing wrong with it, except for a few minor things that only Les would

   RW> that was too much and she'd take $2k, no more. OK...fine with me.   
      
   Congratulations on your GMC purchase!   
      
   It certainly sounds like a good deal.  It is not easy to find decent vehicles   
   these days for less than $4000.     
      
   I'm not in the market for a vehicle, but do watch the prices of Monte Carlos,   
   Trans AMs, and a few other cars.  I wouldn't mind buying one that is in   
   perfect condition and everything works, but has a blown motor.  If it could be   
   purchased cheap enough, it would be worth dropping a rebuilt motor in there.     
      
   My wife is probably going to buy a new car in the next year or so.  We will   
   then have the truck as a spare - which is always handy to have.   
      
   Did you have to get the GMC inspected before you transfered the title?  In MD   
   you have to do that - and they typically ding you for a few odds and ends.
