Buying a car is such a pain in the ass

[strongbad]

Especially if you only have $1400 to spend 
I started my job today, and unless I want to have my mother drive me to work every day, i need a car. I've been eying craigslist almost all day and sent out a few emails, and a phone call.
I called this dude about a great 2000 Ford Ranger for $1100 with under 100K miles. He answers the phone and tells me that he meant to make it say $3100 and asked if I was still interested.

I'm looking at this car right now:

But the only problem is that I need to drive over an hour away to go see it, and that would be a huge waste of time if there is something fatally wrong with it that the owner isn't telling me about.

ITT buying cars or whatever

I called someone but she did not answer so I left her a voicemail.  We will call her "Axiom".  She is selling a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT

I called some guy who is selling a 1992 Nissan Maxima and asked if I could come by on Saturday.  He said to call before I go because he already got a few offers.  We will call him "Max"

I then called another woman selling a '95 Pontiac Grand Am and asked the same thing. She said pretty much the same thing.  She got a few offers and people were coming by tomorrow and wednesday to look at it so call first.  okay i am tired of code names, only the first one matters

I also went to call someone selling a '95 Nissan Altima GXE--BUT THEY DIDN'T GIVE A NUMBER so I had to e-mail them.  I'm hoping I get a reply.


Axiom then called me back and said 11 on Saturday is good. Though I might feel a little guilty since it was her daughter's and she took it from her

My parents bought me a car when I got my driver's license (a pretty good one, if I do say so myself), so I can't relate to your angst at all.

I wish I had parents who would spend money on me ;-;

Try getting some parents who love you. That might help. ^___^

I got my car by helping my dad fix a crashed car from his work. He asked if I liked it, bought, and told me that if I didn't do enough work on the car with him, he would simply resell the car once it was completed.

So basically, I can't relate at all.

^Passenger side door doesn't lock, apparently this kind of car sucks at going up hills.

Ride a bike, they both suck. You'll save on gas too.

I don't want to ride my bike on the highway.

My dad's probably going to give me his Loncoln C-Concept--if it ever is really produced.
