I traded a puppy for a car and they gave me $1500 and they spent $1200 to fix the shocks, brakes, tranny, fluids etc. I thought it was great deal. I figure I have no payments so if I have to spend any money on this car it will be less than car payments. I think I am becoming a chrome-aholic though I did put a new grille on the front cheaply but I look at it like its an old car it needed a new set of choppers.
