Where is this car, ill take it so you dont have to worry about it. $500 for a S5, california car with a great body, that is a steal!
You can always fix the engine or tranny, for that price, pick it up for the good shape the body is in.

I don't care how tired you are, I've been up for 40+hours at a time and I can still use punctuation.
