thanks all
Tom, so here's the story....I'm a tech at a chevy dealer, and I would always work on it when the car would come in for service twice a year. well, I got to know the owner of it over time. so in the spring of this year he text me and asked if i was interested in buying the car, at the time, I wanted it, but the price was more than I could afford comfortably, so I reluctantly passed. About 3 weeks ago, he texts me again and gave me a figure I could not pass on......I was floored.....so I did the deal. The big plus of it, is I know the car well from working on it over the past few years, so I really know what shape the car is in, versus buying it, and finding all sorts of suprises after the fact. I'm a happy guy! also of note, at almost 46 years old, it's my first Ford, lol.
