Hey Gary, This is a new type of scam (fairly new, I guess) where the seller claims the car is overseas and is too expensive to title/register/insure and drive so they want to sell & ship it back. I went into this with a '97 Porsche 993 Cabr offered for $30k incl shipping to a city near the

that's why you gotta buy local and face to face. and even then, you have to buy the seller even more than you have to buy the product. On 6/27/07, Zoltan Finks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > And they say mankind is basically good. Nice how we have to protect > ourselves from liars and thieves at

An S truck with a dead 4.3 is DIRT cheap. Supposedly with a 6.2 in it it'll do more like 30-35mpg in 4x4 trim. AFAIK you can't get the 2.5l 4 in 4x4. I don't need a 2wd truck... For hauling the snowmobile trailer or going to camp I need 4wd. 2 reasons, need the ground clearance and the extra
