Think about that for a sec....
When it came time to do something about paper for my poor, neglected Basket Duett, Maine was still a viable option. Using a very shaky bill of sale, got registration and plates - - don't remember the cost, but the car is still in a million pieces. Was back then, too.

Seen on the web, 96 850, NYC
Scabrous paint, some body damage, broken odo, one and a half owner. $3k. Actually not a bad project if you can do body work. Interior looks ok - carpets a bit dirty.

That is only worth scrap value. Always annoys me when they seem to avoid showing how crappy the front seats are, especially as this car would be scrapped by insurance companies.

I thought we solved the smoking crack era, but it seems to have returned in the used carmarket

Now that is a wonderful color. I need that as a match for my laser blue 'R'.

Not a hateful drive if I have to be in DC anyway; if it's still listed I may make an Informational trek into the rural Commonwealth, just for the adventure. Available space and expendable cash filters are in place.
At least the expectations are somewhat more reasonable than the scrap NYC car above.

That part of Olde Virginny is pretty spread out, more likely raccoons. The mouse condo will be in the trunk, or the glovebox (pics to follow soon).
