Holy shit Oppo. It's been a whirlwind of a few hours.
Since my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ,
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
A) The seller of the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! came back and told me I could make the next offer on it first thing tomorrow morning. I'll be able to inspect and test drive it but I don't have the time/ people available to get a professional PPI done. If I like it, he goes to work, I get cash and we meet up tomorrow night and trade cash and title in a 5 minute affair.
B) Someone from West Palm (3 hours away) wants to pay $4k+ and we're meeting tomorrow night at 6:30 for a test drive and purchase.
I'm a bit suspicious since my car's okay, but I wouldn't drive 3 hours for it. I'm going to invest in a counterfeit pen and the pizza + beer cost of a friend with lots of combat experience in retail. If his money's good, I suppose I don't care why he wants it so bad.
So to recap, hopefully tomorrow goes like this:
6AM: Wake up and smell the oil.
7AM: Meet Miata guy and check out the car. Make a purchase decision.
9AM: Wash the Mustang one last time.
2PM: Class.
4PM: Sign the $4k loan I made with the bank, eat the $30 loan fee as a peace of mind fee so I don't have to count on the Mustang sale.
6:30PM: Meet the guy for the Mustang sale. If it goes well, take his money.
8PM: Meet the guy for the Miata sale. Give him Mustang money.
9PM: Deposit whatever cash is left into ATM, putting enough to clear the loan out in my checking account. Clear the loan out.
I'll post a recap of what actually happened tomorrow night. Wish me luck kids.

Yeah, I definitely need to carefully check it out. The seller was pretty upfront about the accident the Autocheck turned up. Based on the pictures I know what options the car's equipped with. I figure I'm basically buying a car off the roadside or in an olde tyme newsprint classified. Just do my best on my PPI tomorrow and always be prepared to walk.

I'm going through the exact same situation right now... I'm selling my truck this Wednesday and driving to NOLA the day after to pick up what will hopefully be my first Miata, an NB Limited. Best Wishes to you and cheers for all of our future Miat-ing endeavors!
