bought my first spit for ~$850. needed interior, brakes and clutch m/c.
was ripped off, perhaps, but had fun. saw spit locally recently, not
_too_ much worse. owner will take ~$30. I need to get over there this
weekend with a flatbed.

That was the confusing thing about trying to buy a Spit - There didn't
seem to be much consistency in pricing. Kelly Blue Book (kbb.com) says
in SoCAl that a reconditioned spit at a dealer should sell for just over
$2K, but I didn't see a single $2K sppit at a private party that was
really fully drivable. I'm not sure my wife really believes that I've
finally found and bought a car, after all that looking. Of course, I
don't really have it yet, but I'm presuming everything will go OK
tonight, and I'll get to play with it tomorrow.
Regards,
Mark
