#1 (and only) son now allows as to how a 240D 123 (manual) might be a contender as his first car. The Beetle is out because he's taking up the string bass. We already know that they basically don't fit in those, that's why the neighbors got rid of theirs. Anyway, once he hits 14yo this month car-hunting season officially opens! I expect it to take months before anything might actually be procured.
_Ideally_ he'd take a shine to our Chevy pickup, then I could get something else as our woods beater. :-) But he hates it, so that's a no-go. Criteria: Safe; slow; stickshift; needs work, especially some (but not huge amounts) of cosmetic work; relatively inexpensive; something he _likes_. An old MB would be ideal, for many reasons. The idea is to get him into something he likes and with a fair amount of sweat equity. Maximizes our chances of keeping him alive, while minimizing our expenses. Funky colors move to the head of the line. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
