Gouldar, I think you mentioned the best course of action in your original post.... but it's been largely overlooked: find a blind buyer.


Seriously though.... I agree with MikeFocke: you see a used car of this age and mileage looking that clean, it suggests at some point someone took special care of it. It's not typical "neglect". I'd suggest you get another professional opinion. Then, from there, divide up the nut: what do you need to do to enjoy the car for a year? Do that list now. At the end of the year, decide how much you love it. Then do the next part of the list. Do the same thing at the end of the 2nd year: how much do you love it?

If you set aside $1500 /yr (Or whatever it may be) for 3 or even 4 years, and end up with a great car that you love... I see no better choice. If, on the other hand, at the end of the first year you say "meh..." then unload it and call the loss the simple price of admission for the fun you DID have.

JUST an idea.
