Chris - Check your PM.
Jim - Thanks. I think I will remember I don't have to drive this car flat stick to make it go. I have found that the faster a car is the more responsible I am with it. It seems counterintuitive, but its true.
Everybody else -
As far as the price, I came home feeling good about the deal. Then I checked the Kelly Blue Book site, and now I feel
real bad for
the seller! What I thought was $1,000 over book wholesale was only $300, given the options, mileage and part of the country. She priced the car based on what a dealer was going to give her as a trade, and that turned out to be highway robbery.
I'm going to borrow a digital camera to take some pics when bring the car home. Watch for a new Avatar, it will actually be my car this time.
