GMAN said: "He seems content with his place in life. "
That is key "contentment". It is hard to achieve as greed (credit) and other challenges/temptations usually lure most folks into making bad decisions.
Good for Carl to have good mentor-ship (parenting??) or a lot of common sense early on in the game of LIFE!

I may be a bit out of topic, but that doesn't sounds right to me! :roll:
Unless it was a wreck, the price would be at least 25 grand more.
Not that it matter, but if part of the story, didn't sounds right, i kinda doubt the rest... :roll:

I thought the same thing. If I could find a 2004 with 200,000 miles on it for that price, I would grab it in a second.

I appreciate it, Bandit. Unfortunately, most of my runs are not all that interesting.

Like I said, I believe he said that it was a 2004. I almost asked for the guy's number who was selling it. I would consider buying it myself for that price. Apparently, there are some health issues with the guy who wants to sell it. If someone gets desperate they are willing to deal. The guy seemed sincere. I think he was being truthful.

thats the way to do it just be smart with your money, i've known many young o/o's who end up going bankrupt because they start living large and don't think about saving, i very rarely use my credit card for anything, and i always try to put money away for if i ever have to do major repairs to my truck
