I bought a 2nd car!!!!

The seceratary at work said her sister's husband was selling his old car because he bought a new truck. I went over to look at it today and its everything I've wanted in a 2nd car!

1989 Oldmobile Cutlas Supreme:
51K miles
New (with in the last year)

brakes
rotors
calipers
fuel injectors
alternator
battery
tie-rods
shocks
struts
springs
belts
hoses
heater core
tires
....yes hes a mechanic....hes selling it because he bought his wife an MDX.

Its black with grey interior.....Kenwood detachable face CD player......and it even has a sunroof! There was only 2 dings on the whole car.....its mint!
All that for $2700!

damn...2700.... not me.... but enjoy.... unfortunately i dont trust US made autos anymore... i mean i have been burned by American made cars alot...

i know honda and acura build in Ohio now, but i would rather chance it with an import than chance it with a ford, gm, chrysler and so on....

but if you like it... then enjoy...

doesn't matter where it's built - it's about quality control.

American company: damn door panel is 1/4" off from another, hmm...
Boss man: f^ck it, for $xx,xxx they can deal with it

Japanese company: damn door panel is 1/4" off from another, wtf....
Boss man: how did this American car get in here?
