Re: Starter Installation
 

I called the person last night and told them that a friend of mine mentioned
a way we could check to make sure it was just the starter, a way that was
quick & easy. I didn't tell them it involved push-starting, but at any rate
they didn't sound like they had a problem with that.

They mentioned we could meet sometime this morning (the next day, today) to
do this, they would call. They didn't. I called about 2 p.m., didn't get
them, left a message. They haven't called back. Prior to this, they had been
calling back very quickly whenever we'd call & leave a message.

Sounds like they didn't want us to check their car out more, so we're not
going to do it.

Besides, someone was selling a 1992 Ford Tempo which worked just fine right
now, for only $600--and it was in good shape, that's about 1/2 what Kelley
Blue Book said it was worth. It has a 3-speed auto, and frankly, with my
wife struggling to work a 5-speed, it's better for us anyway.

I love Hondas, and that Civic could've possibly been a good deal, but their
not calling back makes me feel queasy about it. Oh well.

less that an hour, and a piece of cake.
