    Yeah, That guy is (or was) nuts. The car's been listed for months. He started at 28k if I remember. The price is getting more reasonable, but I still think it's a little high.

    Anyway, no -- I'm not looking anymore. If I had found one earlier (even that one for a reasonable price) I might have pulled the trigger. But now I'm taking some of the proceeds from the Cobra to fix up the Fox and using the rest for some home improvements.

    I just looked at Craiglist again. The same car is there, now listed for $13K. Like I said above, he started at 26 or 28. He probably lost an easy sale by being too greedy -- if he had started at say, $16, I probably would've gone to take a look -- and if it was decent bought it, since it's pretty much what I was looking for. But since he was asking such stupidly ridiculous money, I didn't even bother to offer.

    Now I'm a couple grand into the 1990, and having a good time with it.

    Moral of the story: Sure, everyone wants to get as much as possible for their car, but by being greedy, he lost out on an easy sale and is still sitting on the car 3 months later. Don't be a greedy dumbass.
