One for the register

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

Yikes! Maybe even 1.2 cars for the register, if you count the red front 2' of an Excel.

Definitely a new one. Looks decent until you see pictures inside, but who knows on chassis and paint can only tell by actually seeing . Be interested in price it bags.
( Good job it's not leather otherwise I might have found it difficult to stay away from).

For what appears to be an eminently savable car, that seems a bargain.
