If you have cash, place $2,500.00 in her hand and say, "This is all that I have. It would take me a month or two to save up another thousand." If she turns you down, tell her that you can borrow another $500.00 from a friend but won't be able to afford insurance for two months. If she turns that down, give her three-thousand-five-hundred dollars and say, "Thank you very much Ma'am for allowing me to purchase such a fine vehicle for only $3,500.00. I'll take very good care of it." and then drive your sweet ass ride home!

BTW, this is OldSchool5, my 1988 with 13,000 miles that I bought from the dealer of the estate of a little old lady. I paid $8,000.00 for this in 2003.

You're welcome.
Have you done a VIN check?
Have you taken pictures?
What's the square root of 69?

It is probably worth it, especially where you are located. These cars are more expensive out there. OldSchool has a very good method, use it. Do a VIN check. And there is little that can go wrong that we can not help you fix for a relatively small amount of cash.

Go for it!

They are amazing.I never would of thought of myself in a Lincoln and I think now I am hooked.I really appreciate all your guys help with this.Anything special to this car that I should look for.

Worst case senario, you go home with exactly what you wanted to buy.
