When I get $3500 I will connect with him and he can buy his CTD.
What do you think.
That's appreciated greatly...
Here's what's going on... The wife's getting a bonus in a week or two, which will mostly pay off our van. Once it's fully paid, the bank says it'll loan us part of the money for the truck... So, after I get it nailed down how much, I will call and see if the truck is still there. If it is, I'll try to work out a deal where I send them a deposit to hold it for 30 days.
But before I give anyone any money... I need SOMEONE to go over there and look at it. It's a 9 or 10 hour round trip for me to go look at it, and frankly, I haven't the time. The wife is still working 4. 5 hours away, and is gone 3 or 4 days a week. I can't leave the kids home alone, and they can't leave, since they have paper routes, school, etc. If I am to go, it would have to be on Monday (no school), but the wife's not home then. The rest of the time I'd have to skip class... not something I'm interested in doing.
If you are in the area:
here's the place:

I need someone to drive it, give it a good once-over to make sure it has no glaring defects like a busted transmission or extreme blow-by or some other serious problem. Oh, yeah... . If you decide to buy it yourself after seeing this

Just let me know. I won't begrudge it at all.
