buyer beware

[bluebirdsp36]

JEH,

Don't give up yet! Several years ago, I bought a nice 79 FC-33 from
Bleakley in Atlanta for $20k. It had 120k miles and was in beautiful
shape. We took many trips with no problems over two years. We spent
about $10k on improvements and sold it for $32k. Bleakley was asking
$35k but I offered $20k and he took it. Offen times a dealer will
wholesale one out if it sits too long on the lot. They usually have
very little invested in a trade-in that old.
