They're out there. But you'd be wise to not jump on the first one you see. Better to lurk in e-space reading these posts for awhile to get a feel of what to look out for. And be willing to spend some $ travelling to see a few. Don't buy sight unseen because the pictures looked great. You may be sadly disappointed. I spent well over $700 on mine last week... but I wasn't surprised or disappoointed. I had done my homework, and though I'm not a mechanic, I could see when I looked under the car that the coolant hoses were leaking. And I could guess the brake lines were ancient. If I thought I was buying a car I'd never spend any money on, I'd be horrified. But I bought it (for $13K) fully expecting to need to spend at least another $3k+ to bring it up to what it should be, mechanically. They're on the market all the time. Get to know what's out there, for your own protection. Just my 2 cents worth. -Wayne A. Ernst "Living the dream" VIN...11174
