My caveat, is the phrase 'You've got to love it'. If you do then you can pour in several thousand more dollars and make it into a show truck or just drive it the way it is. Yes you can afford it but, Do You Love It? The price seems high to me because, not seeing it in person it looks like a fast paint job is covering up a host of sins and the owner wants YOU to pay for the paint job. Good Luck with your decision.

Rocinante, like Don Quixote, he is awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities.
