well i called the owner and touched bases just a bit...found out the car was at the office so i went to take a look at it...found out through my girl that he was supposed to be on his way to the office as well..i thought it was to meet me but apparently it was to take his squeeze to lunch or something...

anyway my girl's sister called him and he said he would return in about 20 mins...i said fine and went to get lunch myself...i got back maybe 30 mins later or so and he still hadn't returned

i figured him for a flake but whatever...

on to the car...definitely looks like a 15yr old car...its been repainted but still looks not so good up close...no fogs, right headlight with condensation, trim pieces missing inside and others not fitting right...body pieces out side look like the car has been banged up at least mildly

the one thing that really stood out to me though...i 'thought' the guy said 100k when on the phone...he responded 'yeh 100' when i was trying to clarify....i did not get a clear, full on look at the odometer but the first digit was way too crooked to be a '1'....a guy in the office told in my sis in law that its 500k on the odometer!!!!!! is that even possible????

somewhere under 100k on 'new' motor but i doubt its very new at all now...anyway, if i didn't need a primary car so bad this one might still be an option, but not at this point...the guy was supposed to call me and i still have not heard from him and its been almost 2 hrs now

o well...
