A 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] 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, [livejournal.com profile] 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.

mmm...

That's certainly tempting. How much would the registration be? What year? What mileage (I know you don't have it handy yet)? Does it pass emissions?

(and I'm pretty sure I could find a coolant leak... just get some of the UV dye stuff and a blacklight.)

(I'm looking for a reliable car for [livejournal.com profile] errickfoxy, and $200 is almost too good to pass up.)

Unfortunately I'm working days. I will try.

1) My buddy is looking for someone to work a gig on New Year's Eve.

2) Pay back the same guy who took you down to get your permits in the first place.

Hey, Chris, Rick is totally up for it, providing he can have his mechanic look at it first (especially the coolant system). If it comes down to several people wanting it and it being in good shape, Rick would certainly pay more than $200 for it. His car is going to break down any day now, as the master cylinder (and many other things) is almost dead, so we really need to come up with something fast. If your friend is around and whatnot, we are going to be back in town tomorrow night, so if he wants to meet and let us look it over wednesday or thursday, that would be awesome.

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! :)

I would need a car, but... totally across the US, I believe, so it wouldn't work. XD

Merry Late Christmas. :3
