A very nice down payment! I wonder what it looked like before the paint job. The next owner will probably get to rebuild the engine and transmission, replace those tires and it probably needs brake and suspension work. I wonder if the heater boxes are good or do they put engine fumes into the heated air. And why are the front seats covered? Oh the list can go on!
Someone will buy it since it looks so good and it will be a selling point that it is not water cooled with all those pesky issues. Unfortunately that person will not be informed and will go through the process of trying normal shops for repairs or worse they used all their money to get it and can’t support it afterwards.

I sincerely hope they don't get some poor sap to pay that much...
