'60 Galaxie
-
So I finally found a car that I and my woman can agree on to get and make a family project, and she tells me to go ahead and go for it. So I did. We are looking into getting a 1960 Ford Galaxie for $9,000. I have not seen the car in person yet, well soon, but from what I have seen in the advertisement and talking to the owner it sounds like a great deal. ( I have a link with the details below.) Now the woman is throwing the doubt card and giving excuses to rethink the offer. She did not say no, but to make sure I will not make a bad call. I know that I will not be for certain until I go see and test drive the car but do offers always seem better then what might be the truth. Is it common for people to say and post lies to sell the car.

Ebay 60 Galaxie -
Hey there,
I've got a '60 Gal myself, granted it's in really rough shape. First off, any seller you go to is going to make their car look as good as possible (probably better than it actually is). That being said, this car looks great. The pics aren't super good quality, but it looks to be a solid car, def a great starter.
Looks like it doesn't have all the original wheels, but no big deal there really. A couple of things to look out for when you go see it: check the trunk for rust (I have no trunk b/c of the rust, but that was the only major place). Also, the mileage may be 120,000 rather than 20,000. Find out the last time it was started and see if it'll crank over or not. I'd suggest you take a battery just b/c you can learn so much more that way.
Let me know how things go. -
Unforgettably I will not be able to buy the car. But thank you for the advise.
