no sunroof and i just texted the guy. he says it has manual steering.

hmmmm.

most of the stuff listed in the inspection is standard stuff. the clutch is the one that might dissuade me though.

plus the ferry trip from here.

plus not being able to thoroughly check it out until getting there...

i just talked myself out of it. too bad.

if it were on the island i would probably jump on it but there are a few small things that make it a little inconvenient or questionable. it will need a clutch, it would cost $300 to get there and bring the car home, and i don't like the idea traveling to buy a car (too many bad experiences with that).

all that said, i keep fantasizing about it. along with the manual steering and no sunroof, the lack of rust and low kms sure makes it tempting.
