wolfwingsA friend just got a new car.
His old car was only worth $200 to the dealership.
So, I got them to wait before getting rid of it.
Anyone (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arylkia and Si? Or have the truck problems been cleared up?) want a Toyota Corolla (A.K.A. Levin) for around that amount? It runs fine, only problem is that is has some kind of slow leak in the coolant system. It's a manual transmission, and a good car with very easy, sharp shifting. I don't have the mileage handy, but I'm posting this wide-open to draw in nibbles, or get outside input on this...
If nobody else claims it, I'll be looking into snagging it until I find someone else to get it. I don't need three cars, and unfortunately the Levin/Corolla is the only car I don't have a very deep-seated reason to keep that goes far beyond monetary ones.
BTW,drewkitty? I got your message, I'm just too all-fired busy between keeping my job and saving up for FC to return your calls, since right now it's a 2-hour drive to and from where I'm staying, so I get to work for 8, drive for 4, and sleep most of the rest. I'm at-post (or just awake) between 10pm and 6am pretty much every day, feel free to hit my cell-phone from midnight to 4am with abandon, or a little before or after that if you don't mind me putting the phone down with near-zero notice when something comes up I have to deal with. I do have the money for you though, all of it, in one lump sum. And I'll be doing the homework over Monday/Tuesday, to post Wednesday evening.

Date: 2004-12-21 12:55 am (UTC)Gimme a ring, assuming you still have my number. My phone won't be on until tuesday night, so just leave a message if you can. Thanks! :)
At this point, actually...
Date: 2004-12-21 04:54 am (UTC)The plan right now is that she's going to look into getting her pickup truck (Jeep Comanche I think it is?) over to Catalina, and use the Corolla on the mainland, but she might not be able to get the truck to Catalina but still wants the Corolla because it's a smaller, more fuel-effecient car than the truck that was equipped for towing with a fifth-wheel rig at one point and still has everything but the actual fifth-wheel slot still installed.
Would Rick have any interest in the pickup truck instead?

I hope that things are going well for you- and hey, look at that. It's 2005! :D
