Well I would like to say - that first DOlittle can purchase the car since thats what he wants to do. As for me - I do just bought my car and can not spend 2K or more on the car. I really thought he wold sell for 1.5K and towing and storage and a split of parts we sold.
Since that is not happening any longer - then good luck in selling the car- - it may be a good idea to send the aditional 5 K on the car for tranny and other things - but honestly for those owners who were lucky to have one but don't have 5 to 10K layin around the decision is to sell.
