Bought it. C70 1999

Well, other car options aside, I've wanted a c70 since 1997. I finally went to see it. Found a lot of little flaws and issues, but it ran and drove fine, so I paid a lot less than $2 grand. I'm maybe feeling some buyers remorse now because I found some additional issues on the way home.

It is cold and sleeting here and I've got a list of issues to sort out and it is now too dark, cold, and wet here to go out and take a stab at narrowing down the problem list.

when I look at the list of weird little problems I now have to sort out I think I should have paid even less, but generally I'm okay with it.

Last time, I really screwed up and failed to recognize a "bondo-mobile" 1800ES. I then desperately tried to sell it to get my 1 grand back. If I had kept it for parts and it would have saved me just as much money in parts as I spent on it a few years back.
