    lol, They always want me to offer (wich is bad, I will throw 100 bucks out no matter what, lol. I even almost bought a Subaru XT and another 6000 LE the same ways, lol)
    Where are the people calling him an AZZ hole for doing this? I agree with you prospeeder. If someone has something "for sale" but asks you to give them an offer YOU SHOULD SAY $100 no matter what. Thats how the game (THE OWNER STARTED) goes. "Make me an offer" thats exactly what you do. Then they come back with another offer and you get your turn to choose. Simple but some have a price in mind and get all offended like little girls when you "insult their car like that".

When what I did was sold some parts for $400 AND got some parts to complete mine, AND have about $1600 left in AWD specific parts incase something goes wrong with mine?.
      Some of those parts made it into shake n bake!

              Nah. I talked to my dad, and he would rather have it replaced than run it that way. It's his car, so what he says goes. Whenever tax money comes, it shall be replaced.

                Experienced this recently. I drove past someone's house on the way to the store, and their "yard" had, no joke, at least 20 cars and trucks sitting there, lined up as if on display. And gleaming in the sun, it beckoned me—a maroon Celebrity sedan. I made a hasty u-turn to get a closer look. Upon further inspection, it was an '87 CL, with 2.8 MFI and four speed, in awesome condition. Only blemish was a bit of possible pole damage on the left corner of the front bumper. It was currently registered though.

                A few days later I drove past there again, and this time the owner of the property, I presumed, was performing some maintenance on one of his myriad vehicles. I stopped and inquired if any of these cars were for sale. He asked me which one I was interested in, I said the Celebrity.

                Not for sale.

                Several weeks later, it is still sitting there. There is no evidence that it has moved.

                So I bought a Cadillac.
