    I just texted him again from my other phone to see if he will answer this time. Makes no sense to not answer someone when the car is listed for $600 and then lower the price to $400 a day later...

      He never responded and now it has been removed from Craigslist. Did you buy it Harpon?

          Its a proven fact that single people are 78% less likely to be killed by their wife after bringing home another junk car. Thats why i am still not married.

            No- like I said I'm too sick and have a Festy in the shed and an escort wagon in the yard- I didn't buy it- I saw the ad down and thought you did.

              Well if the car's gone at least your wife won't kill you.

              Maybe she'll just shit


              Yeah, life is rough here!

                Not terribly far

                  I have't seen the car back on there so I'm assuming it was either a Scam or the guy sold it to someone else. It was kind of odd because It never even showed that he opened the message that I sent him from my Work I-Phone.

                  Iv'e seen that Satsuma car on CL before, I dunno if it has changed owners or not. In one of the pictures you can see a giant sombrero on top of the car, someone had different photos just like that about a month ago. I don't need another car but I can't let one for $300-$400 slip away. I was mainly interested in the first one because It had A/C and the body seemed to be in better condition than mine.

                  As far as mechanics, I do most of my own work. That's one of the reasons I like this car, something easy and cheap to learn on. What side of town do you live on again? I thought I remember you saying Commonwealth area. The only mechanic I have taken a car to around Jacksonville is a place called Allen Bros on Blanding Blvd. near the House of Fleas.
