85 gls-se

I saw this 85 gls-se about a year ago, the car was owned by the woman who took it out of storage about 2 years ago where it now sits unused in her driveway. I've tried to buy it twice, she has no idea how much its worth which is good except shes just too damn stubborn to let it go. Looks in excellent condition except the rubber strips on the passenger side door has let go and it has a spot on the hood the size of a dinner plate where the paint has been worn down. Ahhh damn...I want that car...I offered her $800 she wants more though...its definitly worth more but hey I own an fb which means I'm cheap...well at least in buying another one...50 people want to send me $20...eh...

I'm to the point where I should just show up in the night with a dolly and take the car, it just sits there rotting away...and I'd really like to get it before its too far gone...as I can tell right now its got 0 rust...which is excellent for a Canadian car...

Had to vent my frusteration, its true once you have one you want one more then another and another...I'm trying to make it 3...serious on the $20 though...lol

Hmmm...Nebraska isn't too far away, and I have $810. Where did you say it's at?

I think in this case, NB=New Brunswick (Canada) . I don't know on the SE. Maybe offer $1000? Maybe bring $800 or whatever in cash. People tend to change their mind when they see cash in hand. I imagine it doesn't run since it is sitting.

Quit being such a tight *** and offer her 1k, we all know it's worth it and the spending starts after purchase.

But if I GAVE you money, you wouldn't appreciate the car anywhere near as much as if you bought it with your own hard earned money, and I'd hate to deprive you of that appreciation.
