Also wanted to mention that I'll never again regret losing out on a project car. In fact, I don't know that I will ever buy another project car. We've poured so much money into out Tempest and it's been fun, but looking at current more realistic prices for finished cars kind of breaks my heart.

/\ I get that.
A "deal" stops being a deal when it's something that requires equity, and is something that from the offset wasn't a car you planned on keeping long term.

That’s a great point- it’s only a deal if you truly want the car. If I found a barn fresh duster 340 I would probably pass on it or get it running and sell it.

I have on occasion found cars for a friend;
The first time I got nothing; The second time I got a "finders fee"; The third time I went half in... Granted the third time was 1.5 cars, and I got a little under half of the stuff... but even though things didn't end up how I had hoped, I didn't have the garage space so in the end I couldn't be too mad because I found the car, and made the deal with him... The first one is still parked; The second one was quickly flipped; The third one, netted me a good engine and some good parts - although I came up short considering what I had into the deal, I got my money's worth out of the deal... his part of the deal is somewhere in BC iirc. A deal for one person might not be a deal for another person.

It appears as though I bunched up a few past and present Corvette owner's panties. Oh well!
By the way, go back and read how many others experienced and felt the same way about vette owners. |

The guy at work said he will make a decision this weekend. He's off the whole week for the Holiday. I will update as soon as I know more. Vent on good men.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
