    This charity auction place has a '97 Outback that has a suspiciously low buy it now price.....
    http://www.carswithheart.biz/

    here's the craigslist listing for the car:
    http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/car/566037898.html

    But, being a charity thing, or from government seizure, it might actually be a good car.


    so, would anyone be willing to stop by and see if it's worth driving down to check out?




    btw....they have another '97 outback listed there for 1400 that overheats. we're not interested in a project.....kthxbai

    I just checked out a car for bill, I could probably check this one for you as well.

    I'm located in st. paul and might be able to take a look at it soon.

    PM me, and I'll do what I can!

    Thanks. if you've got time that would be awesome.

    Sarah and I have some time off tomorrow, so we'll probably drive down and check it out. and if it's in decent condition, we may bring it home.....

    bump...anyone? I'm going to call here shortly, and see if they can give me some more info that way. otherwise we'll be leaving Duluth at ~noon......

    if it's as advertised, we may come home with a new car :yumyum:


    but, if there's a reason it's priced so low, I'd like to save a trip. anyone? I know there are lots of members out in that part of town, and it wouldn't take long to take a peak, listen to it run for a minute, poke around the engine bay, etc.

    for the record.....we went today and looked at it. and took about 2 seconds to realize that we didn't want it. oily residue splattered all around the cap for the coolant overflow reservoir, which was empty, and the radiator couldn't have been half full. we didn't go any further than that.....just left. would've been nice to save the trip, but we'll look a bit in the morning.....might find something else interesting.
