That is all the money. I would love to hear what Bruce M. says about this one. Theprice is certainly in the neighborhood of the cherry cars he sells

The ad is mostly puffery, and says nothing about the mechanical and cosmetic problems and the history of the car, or any of the things a seriously informed buyer would need to know.

For $15,000 it would need to be perfect, everthing should work, and have to have passed the PPI perfectly and in excellent to mint condtion, with a documented history from new, and free from rust and repaired collision damage, cracked blue dash, or any flaws, and be a turnkey car.

It is a very ambitious asking price, and could be difficult to attain in a economy that frowns on gas guzzlers, subprime mortages tanking, and gasoline prices rising. Cars like that are not selling well, but you never know-all it takes is one guy who likes the color and the condition. Who knows?
