	Hi Walt:

	I had already bought it when I posted it. It cost me $1,000. I drove it home 
last night and it drives great, runs great. It will need some cleaning up of the wiring 
but no big problems yet. One thing that appealed to me was that it was only about 35 
miles away. 
	Yeah, I figure that it will drink pretty heavy with the big trailer on it but I don't plan
 any long trips. I have had a couple of 400's before. I normally get pretty good milage
 out of most vehicles since I drive with a steady foot and I am also prone to mosey 
a bit...   <(^¿^)>
	You are right, after they get a little age on them the year doesn't matter much. It 
becomes all about condition.
